Yesterday, I installed Kunbuntu 9.04 on a family member's Acer Aspire 3000 laptop; my family member was fed up with Windows constantly crashing and being slow.
Things worked out-of-the-box, except for two small things:
1. The display colors were garbled.
2. The wireless network card did not work.
Both were easily solved though:
1. Edit /etc/modules, and add a line containing "sisfb"
2. sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
Reboot, é voila, everything works!
