True, I *can* install debian, except that I was trying to use Etch, and etch's installer crashed in the middle of its process, leaving me with an un-bootable system, due to the recent-ness of my computer. I didn't try Lenny yet on this laptop (dell D630) so I don't know if this problem was fixed, but knoppix and etch both don't work.
Anyway, I read up some more on bugs.ubuntu.com https://bugs.launchpad.net/alsa-utils/+bug/29597 This bug explains what's going on with alsaconf.
