You *are* using ACPI. There is nothing unique about Ubuntu on this
matter. I just wanted to point out some nice audible alerts that are
disabled. You may be able to hear that sound if you were using an APM
interface instead. This is the sound you disabled in the BIOS which was
already not in use by the ACPI interface. It is really a pleasing sound
i bet you probably never heard before.
