"All of my hardware works. ATI card, LCD (minimum tweak needed to get native res), ipod, firewire card, cellphone through USB, digi cams, cd/dvd writers, etc, etc."
A agree works well out of the box, particularly with Atheros card put of th box- not as much as I can say for suSE and Mandriva.
However bluetooth was a nightmare for me to work out on Feisty "Fawn, had to pair manually and tweak a lot of files.
Otherwise works so well that I only consider using windows again for games!
love apt-get too!
if all else fails "just sudo it"
