I've never had a problem with upgrades/installs (except for my printer
going west on me and having to be re-added which was a pain in the butt
to diagnose).  But overall, my laptop works OK with Ubuntu.  And, as of
some upgrade I didn't notice so I can't pin-point it, I even gained the
ability to sleep it or hibernate it!  :O

Still, I'm about a 75.  Maybe an 85 if the modem isn't important (it
isn't to me).  Modem doesn't work.  3D acceleration doesn't work.  Sound
card doesn't work.

When that day happens -- if it happens (I see some strong cultural
trends in the F/OSS movement that seem opposed to it happening!) -- I
think bug #1 will be history.
