The latest.

New machines tend to not work well with the current version of
software, so there may be some features not working in 11.04, that
will work with 11.10 and later. I have met this situation in new
laptops myself. For example, in a new laptop, suspend may not work
with the current version of Ubuntu, but works with the next versions.
