    oh and also, another thing, if you did manage to install a previous version on your system but still having heating issues or problems with the acpi support, then upgrade the kernel to 2.6.35-22 or whatever the current new kernel is since as of 2.6.35-19 we have full acpi support including battery, thermal, and other. However if you still have an issue with your wifi card the RTL8191sevB I am sorry to report that it still is buggy even in ubuntu 10.10. Not sure what the reasoning behind this is, but hopefully it will get fixed soon.

    If someone says it can't be done, then they haven't tried Linux yet!

    I tried the newest kernel, but it hangs on the "Kubuntu" screen with the progress dots under it.
