Hmm, well .. it replaced Debian, which in turn replaced Windows.  ;-)

I started with Slackware in 1997 or so.  Moved to Debian in 2000 or so for
the dpkg goodness.  Moved to Ubuntu 6 months ago for the integrated desktop.

Details:

My laptop has Breezy installed.

My wife's laptop has Breezy installed.  I haven't removed the WinXP
partition yet but it hasn't been booted since the week the laptop was
purchased.

My workstation at work has Breezy installed.  I removed the WinXP partition
when I purchased cxoffice.

Note that all three machines have cxoffice (for different reasons).  I need
cxoffice to run ClarifyCRM at work and, to a lesser extent, interact with
the MSExchange server (I ues IMAP mail and I'm working on a calendaring
solution).  My wife insists on using MSWord because she's familiar with its
UI.
