Canonical ships the (K)Ubuntu CDs and I received mine as a New year gift. I was really excited and decided to try it immediately.
My wife has a Dell 6200 Laptop and I tested the LiveCD on it.
I popped in the Live CD and it booted into a nice looking desktop. Ubuntu gave me a warning about the Laptop battery,
.
I checked it and was amazed. It read "Your battery has very low capacity (5%), which means that it may be old or broken. Since last month my wife is complaining about the battery problem, the battery lasts only 15 minutes. Since this problem started after the flight from Delhi, which had a bumpy Landing, I think the battery might be broken.
Its amazing that the user friendly "Windows XP" could not issue such a warning, neither did PCLOS. Kubuntu or OpenSUSE, however, Ubuntu was prompt to report it.
I hope this feature of Ubuntu will help my wife in making up her mind to use Ubuntu instead of Windows XP.
NOTE:: The KDE cousin of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, also failed to report this problem.
