Frankly Ive been rather disappointed by Ubuntu 9.04... for a so called
"stable"/LTS release it doesn't seem that way. Things that were working fine
in 8.10 like my Motorola SLVR L7 and bluetooth connectivity (OBEX push) dont
seem to work anymore. There are often artifacts on the right side of the
screen with maximized windows scroll bars and other things seem buggy too.

I was actually rather impressed by Sabayon Linux (Gentoo based). Ati
proprietary drivers are installed by default after it detects my graphics
card and I get twice the frame rates I do in Ubuntu (2000 fps in sabayon)
not to mention there aren't artifacts, no crashing, everything is super
smooth.

Too bad I like Gnome and Debian so much, too used to it. But im working on
learning to use gentoo based systems. I might just switch cuz everything
works so much better there.
