My new OS, the OS of the future..linux

I had these ubuntu(linux distro) cds lying around for months. I kept ordering them as and when a new version came out.Never installed them, however. I mustered up my courage finally, after being fully confident that it will not harm my "original" windows xp. I flicked the ubuntu 9.04 "jaunty jakalope" into the drive and installed it within windows. That was just the start of things. I was amazed at the simplicity with which it installed whithout a glitch.(i consider my desktop a pretty old one) When it turned on, it was sheer pleasure customizing it to look like an Apple osx leopard. It has a few problems, like its unable to play dvds without being programmed manually. Programming ubuntu just involves running a unix scrip..and you are done. I am now running my comp on ubuntu 24X7. I simply love it. I did some pending research in these days, to choose the distro i may use in the near future. Thus, I downloaded Debian 5.0.2,"Lenny", which I shall use later...
