I just bought an Acer Ferrari 4005 laptop.  I spent a week getting the things I needed working, to work.  There were quite a number of small problems to overcome after the hoary install.   I've detailed my progress at the following website: <a href="http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~weckerl/ferrari_ubuntu_64.html">http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~weckerl/ferrari_ubuntu_64.html</a> Now that the laptop has (nearly) all of the things working that I need to work with it, I'll be going back to working for a bit.  Two of the fixes I needed were simply using software from the breezy repository, which is promising. I've set aside a partition for breezy installs and  I am willing to test any install iso's or new breezy software on this laptop to ensure that the best support for it is available in the breezy and future releases.  I just need to be informed when there is new software to test and what exactly needs to be done.  To give a bit of background, I've used debian based distributions for nearly 5 years now (almost exclusively).  Most of the time, my desktop was using Debian sid, which means that I am comfortable breaking and rebuilding a system without losing my own data and work.    I also have a fair bit of experience with Python, C++, and other Development related tasks.  This means that I can probably do a bit more digging into things than some testers, and I am willing to do this.  I also hang out on the #ubuntu-devel irc channel and would be willing to work closely with devs if need be.  Thanks to all of the ubuntu developers for an amazing operating system.
