I will say that the graphics support has always been a dramatic disappointment on this system for me in kubuntu. I installed it on here a while ago, and much to my embarrassment my running streak of non-windows-driven presentations came to a screeching halt when kubuntu refused to work with the external monitor on this system in any way, shape, or form. It knew it was there (this is a laptop after all) but it would actually crash when I hooked it up.
I could hardly care less about graphics performance for games, or really graphics performance in general; I just need the correct resolution for image and presentation work. But when a system screeches to a halt in a console window because of previously-working drivers, that is unacceptable.
I'm going to wipe the kubuntu install, and go to FreeBSD 7.2. I previously has FBSD 6.1 on here, and life was good (except for the flash support, I'll have to put some time into that to make my wife happy).
