"My verdict: Even in the relatively slick Ubuntu variation, Linux is still too rough around the edges for the vast majority of computer users",
says Mossberg. Among others, he complains about one of the things I did too when I was writing my stream of Ubuntu reviews back in Spring.

vmware was not in the repos at the time, and it isn't in Debian's now. Check things out before you type.
My card is an x1650, and to get ubuntu support when I was still using it, I had to use ATI's driver. I was not installing it wrong. It was the only choice I had. Perhaps you could learn some tact. I can use the Debian ones and I do, but the repos don't support everything.
lmsensors never did work using the repos. Try google.

"Kubuntu, on the other hand, can require NO maintenaince at all (auto download & install off updates), except for a 'next next' every 6 months when a new version comes out (yeah, ONLY for major upgrades you have to klik OK or Next or whatever 3 times. Compare that with XP->Vista)."
I am comparing to XP, and when I was running Kubuntu (Hoary, Breezy and Edgy) when ever a kernel update came down, same thing, had to reinstall ATI/vmware/lmsensors. That is not "NO maintenaince" not in the least.
Linux still needs tlc, just not the same kinds as XP/Vista
