[Ubuntu] did not help. Still no sound, no modem, usb mouse not working... It was worth trying and looks like a nice distro, but no better than standard debian for the Thinkpad 600E. Thanks anyway. Now to try to see why nvidia driver will not install on Inspiron 8200, and why k3d wants an openglx engine, whatever that is. It's never-ending...
That's been exactly my experience with Ubuntu (as I mentioned earlier in this thread). I've always had better success with straight Debian installs.
