I installed Ubuntu Ultimate Edition 2.4 recently.
Wow! I can change the way the OS looks and I don't have to buy Blinds to  
do it! =D
I had a bit of trouble installing my 3G modem, but I managed  - I need to  
plug it in before I fire up Linux. Apparently that's fixed in 2.5 but I  
don't have the bandwidth to download it. I also managed to install the  
graphics card drivers.

I installed Code::Blocks but I need WXwidgets which is another big  
download.

But I still haven't been able to install Pov-Ray except in Wine... :(
I'm a total n00b as I can't seem to install anything without the Package  
Manager...
