... I have to admit that Ubuntu is a very nice distribution. It's the only one that automatically configured my Pavilion's WXGA widescreen correctly.

Unfortunately, trying to use nidiswrapper on this thing is a BITCH. It recognizes the laptop's built-in wireless for half a second and then crashes the damn networking controls.

(It doesn't work at all if I'm using the AMD64 install. Apparently some people have managed to get the 64-bit drivers to work, and have managed to compile ndiswrapper as a 64 bit app. I haven't.)

So it's back to either Mepis or Xandros, which will eventually work with my laptop's screen nicely, if I edit the xconfig file a lot. *sigh*

But I will say that other than the momentary panic of not knowing what the hell sudo was, it is a nice distro!
