The PC I'm talking about is a Dell XPS with nvidia and intel 3954 wireless.
It came from Dell with Ubuntu 8.0.4. All was fine until I started to add the UbuntuStudio packages, primarily -rt kernel. While there is lots of info on the web it is not necessarily current or comprehensive. Thus one source says you need to install the backpatch to the rt to get the wireless to work and another says 8.0.4 handles it. At this point I have kernels in /boot that I certainly don't want, probably don't need, and have little clue as to what they have munged into them. At this point I'm thinking of wiping the disk and starting from scratch with the dvd of UbuntuStudio.

My Dell D510 has been cool after all updates so far.
