I want to switch to a different distro because I want to learn more about=
=20
Linux. I've been on Linux since last october, so I'm not a complete newbie,=
=20
but I'm not an expert.
On the other hand, I'm installing it on the new laptop I'm going to buy, an=
d=20
I can expect some configuration problems, so I need a distro where most of=
=20
the components on my laptop are recognized almost out-of-the-box, if=20
possible.
I'm considering Ubuntu right now.
Thanks,
Jaime
