ubuntu linux distribution



i'm contemplating the switch. the ol' ibook g3 is running (comparatively) slower by the day, and there are many applications which just don't run on os10.2.8 (the newest mac os i can run) that are too cool to not have...

i first learned about ubuntu from boingboing's (one of the best blogs in the known universe) cory doctorow (of whom i have sloberingly blogged before). he made the switch (as a fellow lifelong mac user) and seems to be rather pleased with the results. i've purchased "ubuntu linix for non-geeks" on his recommendation and am currently downloading the os from the ubuntu site.

so, are there any geekier readers/contributors than me? have any of you tried it? is there anything i should be concerned about?

thanks.
