I've been running Ubuntu 5.10 and now 6.06 LTS on my
desktop, laptop,
and server. I decided to switch off of M$ for a
variety of reasons, and
have been thoroughly happy to date (about 98%). I
do still keep a M$
box in the house, though, since there are some
annoying (albeit minor)
reasons...

What remains for me at this point to be in a
position to say that I
would _never_ have a reason to see a windoze box
again are the
following:

(1) Printer. I would prefer an all-in-one, but a
printer. I don't mind
configuring and loading drivers, but something that
works consistently.

I have an Hp all in one. I can't think of the number
and I'm about a
hundred miles from it at the moment but I did not have
to configure
anything with it. Just plugged it in and all of it
worked.

(2) My Logitech web cam (Pro3000). Ubuntu
recognizes it as a usb
device, but that's about it.

(3) Sound. For some reason, I get different
symptoms on different
systems. The laptop works sometimes with flash,
others not. The
desktop doesn't work at all with flash. There are
times using skype on
the laptop that the sound just quits, necessitating
a restart of Gnome.
Sound on the desktop in skype is non-existent.

(4) My laptop has ipw2100 wireless. I travelled to
5 different cities
over the last 6 months, and, after a bit of
configuring with eth1, it
worked fine in most of those locations, including
airports. However, at
home - it always recognizes the network but never
signs on.

If anyone can help dissect these issues, I'd really
appreciate it. I've
learned so much about Ubuntu from this list, and
have tried to share
that information with others on the list, but these
few remaining items
really have me a bit stumped...
