I appreciate this goal very much!

Should Breezy already be used for testing or should we use Hoary?
What about ACPI support? I couldn't find it under the two links.
Yes, you mention "sleep button" and "Suspend". But what about
frequency scaling, battery status, CPU temperature and stuff?

At the moment I'm runnig Woody/Sarge on my laptop and I'm quite
satisfied, even if there are some things to improve. I'm willing to
change my installation to Ubuntu on my laptop. But please tell me,
if it's worth, because I own some kind of a no name product built on
a Mitac barebone (IPC Power Note M 8375 -> Mitac barebone 8375). If
you need more information about the hardware, just let me know.

Best regards,
