I switched to Linux as my primary OS at ASU's install fest May '04on
my laptop. Since then I've been with FC2 through FC4 and recently I
felt I was comfortable enough to try another. So, I tried compiling
Gentoo (level 1) and it took me about a week (on and off some days) to
get it running, but I didn't want to deal with some of the hardware
issues. I then tried ubuntu 5.10 preview, and have been pleasantly
surprised. My wireless now works, I can play lots of audio and video
files (wmv and divx thanks to vlc) and I found a package that makes my
toshiba hotkeys work! This is a major selling point to one of my
friends. :-)
