If you want a desktop OS that Just Works and doesn't require a lot of time to configure and keep up-to-date, it's a good choice. On the server side, however, I find that it is FreeBSD rather than Linux which Just Works and lets you do excatly what you want without any fuss. Although I last used gentoo, I would assume that ubuntu has similar features: An older board with an i810 graphics chip works much better for desktop[py|esque|ful|like] use, as linux support for this obsolete piece of trash is fuller and richer.
