"However, the first thing I noticed was that my sound wasn't working. I discovered that the HDA module wasn't available. There was an ALSA kernel module package listed in Synaptic, but it would not install. When I tried to install from the command line I found the package was corrupted and not the expected size. The simplest solution was to disable the CD-ROM as a source, enable one of the listed mirror groups, and try the install again. After that, I could modprobe the needed driver to achieve sound, and it continued to work in subsequent boots."
First with all the Linux distributions out there, and then add in the problem quoted above, is it still any wonder why Windows users haven't adopted Linux yet? I mean I am by no means a Windows proponent, I wish Linux was ready today and my hope is that some day it will in fact be ready...However because of things like this and other distros, where one must jump through hoops to get something working, is it really any wonder?
