But, the hardware in question has had various ubuntu's (2007.04--2010.04, lenny stable, and crunchbang circa about 2 years back without anything like the same level of tears. I don't know if it is Fedora 17, LXDE, or general problems like you fear. But, I'm reducing the points of change. (What made me adopt and long stick with ubuntu was fewer such problems as compared to my attempts to distro hop.) > If you run into issues, please file bug reports.
