board.

I can completely understand the desire to just have things
working...  It's the reason I went to osx for my main personal
machine...  of course now that ubuntu is keeping current with stuff
(unlike debian had) and there is automatix and beryl. linux is a
better "just works" choice after the initial config of a machine.  I
tried gentoo for a bit but I had 1 too many instances of someone
breaking gcc and some imortant part of system didn't compile
correctly.  requiring me to boot from cd and reinstall some stuff.

Beryl gives me the nice expose like effect  for app switching and all
the eye candy that makes me happy.

What did they exactly say was wrong with your system?  I thought the
core2duo mainboards where pretty stable beasts after all the coreduo
revisions.
