I have been running lucid on my desktop for about two months know fully knowing the caveats. Here are some things ive found a) Its visually the most slick linux distro I have used so far. b) Ubuntu now has a cloud offering for consumers which allows you to sync data between computers much like dropbox. c) Ubuntu now has a enterprise cloud offering where the act of maintaining multiple ubuntu computers has been simplified. You can install packages / run commands on multiple machines at once from convenient web interface. You can even check on the machine load from this interface. - http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/private http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/private d) Plymouth now comes standard. This means the entire boot experience from bootup to X is very seamless. Kudos to the fedora folks for coming up with this, props to the ubuntu folks for integrating it. e) The only issue ive had with lucid is that 2 of my 1.5TB SATA drives are not detected. Ive opened a ticket for this sometime back but the ticket hasnt received any love so far. All in all, lucid is a great release. It will make it harder for my osx using friends to make fun of my desktop. Tux has shiny new clothes :)
