Installed Ubuntu 9.04 - Took 5 attempts

I was set on installing Ubuntu onto a 30GB partition I made just for the occasion. It took me 5 tries to get Ubuntu installed, but now that its installed.. Its great! I am really liking it!
I believe it was user error for why it would not install but even so it was very frustrating. Once I was able to get it to install correctly the install went very smoothly and it was very, very easy.

Ubuntu's UI reminds me heavily of Google Android's UI (Google's Open Source Smartphone OS for those who dont know). Since Android is running on the linux kernel aswell as Ubuntu that would be make some sense.

Anyways I am finding myself pleasantly surprised while typing this using a brand new OS (new to me).

Very cool! I am now anxious to try other Linux distros because I know many people like other ones better then Ubuntu

Android? Should I?

So I am kind of getting tired of Apples crappy notification system, the lack of multi-tasking(true multi-tasking), and just the overall restrictions.. But I love my iPhone 3GS and I dont think I am going to be getting rid of it.

Should I buy an Android phone so I can swap SIMs? If I did I would have to buy the G1, myTouch 3G, or HTC Hero. None of which work on AT&T's 3G network.
It is rumored AT&T is going to be launching an Android powered phone which is called the HTC Lancaster but recent rumors state that the phones launch was canceled.

What should I do on this topic? Wait and see if AT&T gets an Android phone, get one already on the market and unlock it, or third option: Get a Windows Mobile phone?

Any ideas?

Phonedog: iPhone 3GS vs HTC Hero.

I was watching this for 4 reasons:
1 - I like phones
2 - I have an iPhone 3GS, I like looking at the competition.
3 - I like Android
4 - I subscribe to Phonedog on YouTube

Anyways! I thought I would post this because Noah from Phonedog does some great reviews and I know many people are interested in the HTC Hero and I know many people are interested in the iPhone 3GS since its the new toy so far this year.

Anyways I thought this would be interesting.

Android Perfection

I don't know if I would call this theme Android "Perfection" but it is very nice!
I have set it up on my iPhone and I am enjoying it. I have found things that need improvement. Here is my homescreen





As you can see it looks Android quite nicely
