Yep. I've got the 64 bit version on 3 rigs and the 32 bit version on my laptop - it's pretty good. The subtle changes over Edgy make it even more, the choice for Windows users who want to try Linux.

Still won't install on my bloody gaming rig though

How odd! What you could try is installing the server version text only, then apt-get'ing ubuntu-desktop. Had to do that myself on a particular rig with Dapper. Worked fine with edgy though

I only really use it for the Linux SMP Folding client anyway, so it doesn't really matter which distro, as long as it works. To be honest, it's a PITA rebooting into Windows when I want to play games so the Linux will only really get used whilst I'm away - I'll Fold with the Windows SMP client whilst I'm home to save me having to reboot.

Just a bit confusing and a little bit annoying not being able to install it.
