Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.

I have been running Ubuntu 10.10 for a few months now and I am happy to say that everything works great. I wouldn't suggest that people use the alpha versions of Ubuntu like I did, but hey its always fun to be on the bleeding edge.

I would recommend that anyone that uses Ubuntu to install Ubuntu tweak http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
