Because of Ubuntu's big release tomorrow, a review of the latest release candidate. It concludes: "To sum up my experience with Ubuntu's Dapper I will say that it is easily the most impressive Linux distribution I have used to date. The combination of speed, stability, ease of use and the excellant apt-get package manager, makes it the Linux distro to beat. The 5 years of upgrades is another incentive to try out Dapper as well. This would be the first time I would recommend a Linux distro to any computer user (including Windows users) and feel confident they would like the system, as well as be able to use the system proficiently shortly after testing out the system."

I agree on the Xgl/Compwiz issue, it's easy enough now, but it still relies on the CLI, so not totally N00bie proof like the SUSE implementation. As for the way to enable/disable repositories graphically, it's there; go into Synaptic, choose Repositories, and you're given the option to check/uncheck universe/multiuniverse/etc. I can't rem the exact steps (I'm at work) but it's in there.
