Make installation more smooth. Last 10 times I have installed desktop ubuntu, I had to do one or more of theese:
1) manually change installation image
2) chroot into installed partition and manually make chages there for it to boot
3) run custom kernel to avoid hardware problem
4) copy and paste scripts from askubuntu to avoid hadrware problem
5) buy another piece of hardware
Sometimes it does not boot, sometimes it does not wake up after hibernate. Some wifi dongle had buggy driver that hang the system.
Luckily, solution was always out there, in the forums. But I had to do some research.
I would recommend Ubuntu to every person I meet, but I am sure that their hardware is not very well supported in it, by pure variety of hardware and my experience in installation.
