I've taken the last month off from fiddling with new distros, and have instead just spent time enjoying the Ubuntu experience.

I've fallen in love with two apps in particular: Muine is my new music player of choice, and F-Spot is without a doubt the neatest digital photo organizer I've ever used.

"Its not enough that Red Hat or Novell's lawyers can call Microsoft and be told "we will license this to you royalty free". As a Free Software project, I want legal weight with public accountability to hold Microsoft to royalty free, not "call Microsoft and they'll tell you". That means some sort of public (web, preferably) legally binding page that says: we will offer the technology to anyone on these terms. Given the need to still execute a license, knowing its royalty free isn't enough. I think we need a public statement as to the terms of the license itself."
