The last Long-Term Support Ubuntu release, 10.04 or more popularly known as Lucid Lynx, was an excellent distribution. Lucid Lynx had its share of interface issues in the beginning but eventually became the Windows XP of Canonical in popularity and adoption.

Ubuntu fans everywhere are probably hoping Precise Pangolin will live up to the achievements of Lucid Lynx, especially since Ubuntu allegedly lost its crown to user-friendly Linux Mint.
I hope Canonical gets their site up and running (or at least have someone release a torrent in the wild). People might start downloading Windows 8 Consumer Preview instead.
