Hi all,

For those of you who have tried Ubuntu (or Jeff and the other
developers) I have a couple of quick questions before I install it on
some of my machines.

1. What is the hardware support like in it, and is it possible to get
the 2.6 series kernel installed ? I ask principally because the AGP
driver I need is only available in the 2.6 kernel AFAIK.

2. What is it like for recompiling kernels for specific drivers ? I
have a similar problem to the above with a DVB card that has working
drivers, but the drivers are a kernel patch at the moment.

3. Does it have nice easy support for setting up things like NFS and Samba ?

4. Do you have to fight with the system to install hand rolled
software and the like ? It seems like you might based on the demo Jeff
gave, but maybe not.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm keen to give ubuntu a go.

Jason
