This is all good, that Andrew's lappie now works well, with his software
choice.

As Andrew said, what's being referred to is all Ubuntu (kernel)
underneath now, which has the advanced device control you want. The
layers placed over that may or may not access that functionality well,
in the $DISTRO-YOU-TRY, which does confirm 'suck-it-and-see'. There's an
optimal solution for everyone - long live Free*nix!
I have said before on this list that I am so impressed with every Mepis version
I
have tried that I still wonder why locals still seem to favour Ubuntu.
Because (and forgive us our taste buds) some don't like KDE.
No desktop should be shoved down anyone's throat, regardless of how that
is rationalised.
Ubuntu being pro-active on Freedom (resourced distribution) probably
answers this best though.

Mepis sounds like a very impressive distro. I'll check it out when I can
too.
