Why settle for Ubuntu when LinuxMint works so good (http://linuxmint.com/
). The main release is based on the current Ubuntu release, they have
an awesome KDE variant, and my favorite, Linux Mint Debian Edition, is
based on Debian (testing). I'm getting use (and kinda liking) Gnome
3. But for those that like the seasoned desktops, try "MATE" or
"Cinnamon".
For the adventurous in the crowd, check out Calculate Linux (http://calculate-linux.org/
), a well thought distribution based off of Gentoo Linux. If you
don't mind the Cyrillic Russian comments in the source code, this
distribution has many good ideas (redmine website, disk partitioning
and formatting, etc.).
Both distributions (my primary requirement) recognize ALL of my
hardware and run the latest version of VirtualBox.
Just my two cents worth,
Steve

Lubuntu 12.04 has also fixed some issues with (i.e., wiimote drivers
work again) on my HTPC.

Did not like Unity. I don't know if it was just me but did the

for the HUD and typed term/terminal/xterm and a terminal app didn't
show up,
so that was it. Went with XFCE on the desktop and customized the
panels to
my liking.

I (attempted) to move a few desktops over to 12.04 this weekend.
Biggest Complaint: Unity is TERRIBLE; I really tried to embrace it.
There are some cool things but being dropped right into that world
from Gnome2 is a roller coaster ride. Gnome shell is not perfect
either. Still trying to figure out things. Overall, the experience
was very buggy.

I have Ubuntu-12.04 in a couple virtual machines - testing only,
not in production.
In 12.04, Ubuntu has upgraded to MySQL-5.5, and does not have
MySQL-GUI-Tools (Administrator & Query Browser - EOL), so either I
accustom to MySQL-Workbench, which so conveniently is available
in universe/database, or I see how feasible it is to work around
compile issues in MySQL-GUI-Tools against MySQL-5.5 .
