Discussion
I installed Ubuntu Karmic Koala into Fujitsu Amilo PI 3560 laptop to dual boot with Win7. Works like a charm. I felt bad when I had to give the laptop to my brother.
Didn't have the time to test it thoroughly but works better than my Fedora 11 or Ubuntu 9.10 on my own XA3530 where I have a minor and a major problem: the minor with changing between the two graphics cards and the major with the system heating up to 85+ C. I don't know if it's the processor or the GPU that heats. It isn't about lacking the ability to scale the frequency.
