Last night I tried to install ubuntu 10.10 on an old Dell but 3 times it froze a few minutes into the process.
I downloaded 9.10, burned it to a CD & it installed just fine. Afterward there were over 300 updates for it & it took another hour for those to download & install. Now I have a PC that's useable in less than 3 minutes after startup as opposed to 15 minutes when it was running XP.

Moral of the story? The latest isn't always the best.
