Never heard of it before - what is it for specifically?

Their website looks naff.

edit: Hahaha, I get a 404 looking at their FAQ. This isn't inspiring much confidence.

From what I can gather its got things pre installed etc, downloading it to give it a go and see what happens

I downloaded & installed Ubuntu Ultimate Edition.Works great,tons of features & programs bundled with it.

DoubleCheese,

Any problems you have come across or is it fairly smooth?

Just downloaded 1.9 so will give that a go later

Let us know what you think of it guys. Is it easy to install and dual boot on same drive as Vista?

Well I have installed the Ultimate edition, and yes it is nice, to have everything installed, I am putting straight 8.04 back on.

The menus are just far to cluttered with stuff I wouldnt use, programs appear in more than one menu etc.

While Im sure it can all be sorted, I did not install this version to have to sort it out.

Is apt-get really so hard? Don't see a point in this, Ubuntu comes with enough stuff as is

Plus, I would have thought the whole point of linux being that you install only what you want..not have a whole bloated mess.

I agree, we have windows for users who like bloat
