i recently installed xubuntu hardy too, great piece of software. most of it works out of the box, except for the wireless (needs downloading madwifi drivers) and some Fn keys. I’m also having problems getting hibernation/suspend to work, any luck with that? worked like a charm on gutsy.

other than that, like Ian said, haven’t had the wired network bug, weird.

@Sam & @ccm: I think what Sam meant was that Compiz stops you dragging a window up beyond the top bar in GNOME, hence you can’t get to the bottom of windows > 480px tall. In the full Compiz settings manager (this may not be a default install in Ubuntu, can’t remember) go to the first category (Configuration?) and there should be an option called „Constrain Y“. Turn that off and you’ll be able to drag a window higher than the bar.

I believe there was some legal wrangling over the Atheros drivers that meant the support briefly got into madwifi (hence the version you can download) before being removed again. I may be wrong.
