I gave Ubuntu Hoary Hedgehog a try for a couple of days but found that
debian on a laptop used as a serious workstation just doesn't work. It
found all the hardware just fine and worked great for general surfing
the web etc but trackpad behaviour was quirky and installing pptp and
perl modules for work was a pain.


I have a Dell laptop with a Synaptics pad that's working fine with zero 
configuration required with Kubuntu Hoary.
The great thing about [K]Ubuntu is that if something doesn't work, report a 
bug and it'll get fixed *quickly*.

Again for the hassle installing pptp and perl modules - tell them. They're 
very responsive to such reports.

David.
