I'm getting really fed up with the x86_64 GNU/Linux distributions not wokring. I've tried SuSE 9.3, 10.0, 10.0.45 and Kubuntu 5.10 and none work properly. SuSE doesn't get past the first boot, and Kubuntu dies after trying to syncronise the clock via ntp.

Next in line is x86 Debian Sarge. I'll then compile a x86_64 kernel and maybe upgrade userpace. I'll then build a native LFS, since it looks like the only way to get things working like I want them to. Getting software is a bit of a pain in the ass, but at least I don't have to drag half of gnome just to install some desktop app.

I'll try to install Breezy Badger (Kubuntu) on my laptop and see how it goes. Wish me luck.
