It's very cute and colorful. :) But it still picks my Banshee and I've yet to figure out how to make it drop the subject (Besides pulling the card out of the slot). It asks me to type 'video' for the video configuration then it just picks the Banshee with a preset resolution and refresh rate and I don't know how to change it. I’m trying that PCLinuxOS now.

When you have a non-trivial graphical adapter setup, and you use a Debian based distro (Kubuntu for example), you are going to get into trouble. I'll get dad to dliver a proper livecd for you, when I see him next. its about hardware recognition and configuration, something which Debian is nutoriously bad at, but in which other Linux distros have been pretty good in the last few years.
