Or am I just being naive and expecting too much? <IMG SRC="cid:1208437288.3722.16.camel@debianbella" ALIGN="middle" ALT=":P" BORDER="0"> Anyway, I was wondering if it's possible to install ubuntu from source, like you would with gentoo (I think that's right), where every package installs itself to work with your hardware perfectly... or does that completely defy the idea of ubuntu?
