I usually grab the DVD version rather than CD. Thanks to the magic of 
bittorrent, i've already gotten the x86_86 version, and the i386 will 
probably be done tonight. (And i'll leave both running for a few days 
to help others out.) One question though--what's up with the PowerPC 
version? It's been discontinued the last couple releases, but i found a 
torrent for a PowerPC 8.04 CD yesterday. I grabbed it and will try it 
out soon. But i was surprised to see PowerPC was back.

I normally use Debian, but i must say i prefer Ubuntu for laptops and 
other "difficult" hardware.
