I have sound in PCLinuxOS and everything works just great, that's why I really love PCLinuxOS... but I am also willing to give Kubuntu a try. No USB ADSL modems here, no ATI X1600 so there is a chance I will not be affected with these bugs. I am sure they will try to fix it. But also I am sure there will be some other bugs... I on't have too good experiences with Ubuntu/Kubuntu installations. Always something didn't work... either GFX effects, or sound or something third... but, I'll try this one and see how it goes.
