Today I gave Ubuntu-Linux a spin on my spare-partition. I have to say: it really rocks. I have automagically a desktop to use with great overall functionality within half an hour. Just great. I backed up my data yesterday so today I can reformat my hard-disk and get Ubunto on my main drive.
Edit: Ubuntu is up and running,… but the ACPI-Problem remains. Got to rebuild a kernel tonight.
Edit2: ACPI-Problem is done. First I tried to go without rebuilding the kernel, since Ubuntu supports the inclusion of a new dsdt over the initrd-image, but this failed. Now the third kernel is in the oven to fix the last issues with the fglrx-module for my ati-card.
Next step will be the reconfiguration of xorg to use the fglrx driver. If this is done, I’m through and everything else is just cleanup.
