Ubuntu ,Kubuntu ----> How ???

I have the same laptop.  When 7.4 came out, I originally was going to 
reinstall just to clear some of the junk off that I had installed trying 
to get various things to work (wireless, video card, etc.)

Using the live cd, I seem to recall it hanging during boot and 
complaining about the Broadcom wireless.  So instead of fighting with 
it, I rebooted and just did an upgrade and cleaned all the junk off by 
hand. If that is the same wireless chip you have, google around as I 
seem to recall seeing a solution to disable it during install...the alt. 
installer may work as well.

I may be doing a complete reinstall when 7.10 goes live just for the 
hell of it. That may be your best bet, as 7.10 should be release within 
2 weeks.  Otherwise, I would try the alt. installer or use the beta of 
Gutsy.  I have it (Gutsy) on a few other machines and is running fine. I 
just can't on my laptop do to it being my laptop for work and not having 
enough time to tinker with it if something were to break during the upgrade.

Good luck
