Thankfully this shortcoming hasn't been lost on the programming community, and a large number of tools have been developed to fill the gap.

Ubuntu 9.04 Released

The Ubuntu team is happy to bring you the latest and greatest software the Open Source community has to offer. This is their latest result, the Ubuntu 9.04 release, which brings a host of excellent new features.

i use ubuntu at work and love it. only a few months ago i upgraded from 7.04 to 8.10 and the changes were dramatic. things that needed to be compiled in, like support for a UPS or dual displays, are now default behavior in 8. i can’t imagine how smooth 9 is, and i think by the time they hit 10 (which should be in six months given ubuntu’s schedule) we should have a very solid OS that even your grandma can use.

try the ubuntu live cd! you can boot and use ubuntu without overwriting your current install. old hardware? linux is awesome for sub-par systems!
