Greetings from Ubuntu !!!

I just installed it on my new Thinkpad R52. It looks like everything is=20
working: graphics, sound, network, etc. And it was a fast installation!

OK, lets fine tune it.

Jaime!

No, I'm not in experimental stage, just in learning stage :-)<br>

I've been using Fedora Core for several months, now it's time to try
another distro. I chose Ubuntu this time. I'll use it for several
months and then try another one. Let's call it slow-motion experimental
stage.<br>
