I've been using Ubuntu since 6.06 Dapper (LTS).
I have only 2 complaints.
1. Laptop> I've seen lot's of places where people complain about Suspend/Hibernate issues. A year and a half has passed, and there has been no solution (at least for Dell laptops, specially using ATI drivers). I know that not all of this is Ubuntu's fault, but having a laptop w/out this feature is kind of lame.
2. Laptop> battery life and temp. In MS Windows, my battery runs for a bit more than 2 hours on battery. On Ubuntu, about 1. Temperature is another big issue, even with gkrellm i8k installed.
As you can see, my Desktop (another Dell, w/ ATI) has no problems, working @ 100%.
The last thing I'd recommend, is to create a place, alike w/ubuntuforums.org, where all the solutions provided by different forums and users are gathered. For example, typor of hardware, brand, model or system. This way, the first place to look for answers would be this site, instead of having to wander all over the www for answers.
If you plan to give Ubuntu to "the average user" this is a must. For the kind of people, like me, that are using Ubuntu as of now, it's not necessary, but WOW, I'm sure it would help a lot.
