I'm really looking forward to this release. Ive been using Ubuntu for a couple of years now, and really enjoy devloping on it. I don't have to restart my machine that often - usually only when I have to do some Windows stuff, but the faster boot time will be a welcome improvement.

When you consider just how many features are available in Ubuntu, and the general feel, it's amazing that you can get it for free.

I even like the current brown/skin theme - I must be a fan boy. The one big improvement I would like to see though is a fast Firefox port.
