I love Xubuntu. Surprised there isn't more buzz about it.

Seconded. Xfce provides the best of both worlds, although I tend to stick to the normal one for most things. It's quicker and lighter than Gnome, while being clean and simple, and doesn't look like an odd attempt at "Windows XP 2" like KDE.

A follow up: Turns out that the final release comes in two flavors. The default Kubuntu 8.04 has KDE3; there is also a KDE "remix" version with KDE4.

I've had an annoying time this weekend doing the standard upgrade (I suggest NOT upgrading via the internet using a running system if you can avoid it; my upgrade hung trying to stop a service, and it went downhill from there)

But hibernate and suspend work now. :)

Yeah, I tried KDE4 and quickly reverted it. Support seems very preliminary. KDE3 seems solid, though.
