Ubuntu Feisty Fawn which will be released soon this month (19 Apr) can be ordered through Ubuntu’s ShipIt. Feisty has been getting good reviews and has various features which make moving from Windows to GNU/Linux.
The built-in migration assistant can move data from your old OS to Ubuntu – with support for multiple users too. There are also new games like sudoku and chess. Also if you try to play any multimedia file which requires codecs to be downloaded, Ubuntu does this automatically for you. It also has better networking for wired and wireless access, kernel with VMI enabled – which means better paravirtualization, better artwork and one-click activation of desktop effects.
