no problem with the sound or drivers? Should I get the latest 64bit Ubuntu then?
I do not have a CD newer than Hardy Heron. Which flavor of Ubuntu would you recommend for a Toshiba with wireless and all the bells and whistles?
I have a toshiba satellite model: pslc0u-01u01h.
I was thinking about putting Ubuntu on it but after reviewing all the threads about Toshiba not liking Ubuntu, I am not sure if I want to try.

It crashes when using the update utillity to upgrade to Hardy Heron.
I probablely need to have a CD mailed to me, because I havent managed to burn a CD that would pass the check sum either.

I haven't been able to get upgraded to Hardy on my machine at work. It keeps crashing before install finishes.
OK. This was a new install so I re-installed.

No. I haven't had a chance to try it yet. I'm still trying to get my Ubuntu test machine to authenticate to the DCs in our Windows Domain with likewise.
