Funny you mention that.  I just got the Ubuntu CD in the mail the other 
day.  I played with the Live CD.  I wasn't particularly overwhelmed.  
Ubuntu's GNOME 2.8 isn't any "better" than FC3's (unless I'm missing 
something).

I do like the large archive they have though and I'd probably be playing 
with Ubuntu right now (dual booting) if I had the HD space...  As it is 
Debian based, I'd like to try it for that reason alone that and the fact 
that is has a cool name. ;-)
