What didn’t work with 10.2? I’ve got it running on three machines, one of which is a laptop. And one desktop I just upgraded to 10.3.
If you think Ubuntu is so sweet, I challenge you to give PC Linux OS 2007 a test drive. After installing it as a virtual machine and tinkering around with it for an afternoon, I installed it as a dual boot option on my laptop, and haven’t looked back. Of course I didn’t think Ubuntu was all that hot to begin with, but PCLOS is the new apple of my eye.
