Tomorrow Ubuntu 8.04, codenamed "Hardy Heron", will be officially released. I've been living semi-dangerously and running the beta on the new computer with no complaints.
If you've wondered about Linux, this--or rather, tomorrow--is a good time to try it out. (Servers are likely to be heavily loaded for a while following the announcement, but there's always BitTorrent.) You can download an ISO file and burn a Live CD, or if you run Windows you might consider Wubi. (If you don't have reasonable bandwidth, you can even ask to be sent a Live CD. It's free.)
Linux is of particular interest to SL residents; I've seen several reports that the SL client runs better on Linux than on Windows on the same hardware. (I wouldn't know. I only run Windows under duress.)
UPDATE: It's official! Give it a try.
