yet another apple switch campaign?

yes, but this time returning the dishevelled yellow dog to its greedy and uncommunicative owners and inviting that friendly guy called ubuntu in my modest mud hut.

not to say that everything went smoother, heck no: i still needed a patch for ibook's reliable slumber (although a pretty simple one), and certainly there are some minor annoying issues here, too.

nevertheless, sound worked out of the box and just intuitively, this distribution has a much cleaner and easier look & feel. (obviously i prefer gnome to kde.)
