[plug] My new PC - a little disappointed...

[Blake Munro]

I did try PCLinuxOS 2008 and openSUSE 10.3 but had similar results.

I haven't fully crossed to the 'dark side', only one of my PC's. The rest
are still all running Linux... and "I'll be back" - will give it another
shot when Intrepid is released and see how it goes. I'll still be playing
with it in vmware, even though that won't give me an indication of it liking
my hardware or not since vmware has it's own drivers...
