Ubuntu - 0.94

I've install Ubuntu yesterday. The installation process was very smooth - even Netgear wireless card was detected :)
I like better than CENTOS. Also, order new computer parts that I will assemble on the weekend. I'm going to use Dual-Core
Wolfdale. Most of the OS don't use more than 1 Core.
So Dual-Core should be enough for now. I will install Ubuntu(maybe with XP).
