The first three versions of ubuntu (4.10, 5.04, 5.10) just worked for
me.  With version 6.06, we (at work) have found several machines that it
wouldn't just install in (but installing 5.10 then running an upgrade
always worked).  One of the machines was a less than a year old Dell
laptop.  One of the other machines was was a P2.  And most shockingly,
we had the same problem with installing it in VMWare.  This is really
irritating.

Other than that though, it has so far just worked.  I haven't upgraded
my work laptop or my home machine yet though.
