phpBB2 is still considered one of the best forum available. Its list of
features would only spam your inbox, so I won't list them down. It's a bit
on the heavy side though, as compared to SMF, but phpBB2 makes up for it by
being reliable and secure. There's a bit of a learning curve though when
administrating it, but you'll get over it in a few hours. 

Availability? It's already in the Ubuntu repository, just apt-get it.
