Not only that, but I've actually noticed 9.04 does a stellar job of picking up drivers on the install. The last couple times I've installed it on PCs, I just had to enable the restricted Nvidia driver, and that's it. Everything else just worked. Even had a lappy with bluetooth, wifi, all the devices that use to be a PITA installing in Ubuntu, it picked them up right from the start and worked great.

It's come a long way that's for sure.

Also if you guys ever get the itch to try another good distro, check out linux mint. It's very similair to Ubuntu.
