Thanks I'll certainly re-try later Debian and etch.
Especially because I already put stikers 'Debian' on my laptop and would
not like to remove them ;-)

Did Debian detect all the hardware on your laptop? The reason I removed
Debian from my laptop (I run Debian on two desktops) is that it would not
detect the modem (a "winmodem") or the wifi interface. I then tried
Xandros and it did not detect them either, but Linspire detected all
hardware. I now have Linspire and Freespire installed on the laptop.
I did not try Ubuntu or Kubuntu but those might be good choices.

I 'll say that Debian detect correctly the hardware on my laptob (Dell Aspire
9100). Except, it seems, video card ATI Radeon x600 for which I had to
install different stuffs fglrx and ati as it was not able to do 3D.
But I'm not sure about that because I have the feeling that 3D support is
in fact not included in the standard etch reposititories (but I might be wrong
on this last asumption...)

No, you are right, but as far as I know, it is NOT included by default
in any Linux. Nos Suse, not FC, not Ubuntu, not Debian, not any I have
tried.
