I recently switched from Suse to Ubuntu, and I love it, with one exception, and I wish they would address this before adding another feature:*Automated* system repair tools on the LiveCD.At the very least, it needs to have a 'boot installed system' and some sort of high-level bootloader repair options like Suse.
I've tried getting 3 monitors running on ubuntu 6.10 (on a machine that has both an nvidia video card and an ATi radeon video card) and I had difficulties managing both the drivers let alone configuring the conf file to utilize them. I did find some friendly help on ubuntu's IRC site, but I still couldn't resolve my issues.. I ended up fleeing back to windows.This looks like a step in the right direction.

You might want to try rbelmont.mameworld.info [sdlmame]. It's up to date (unlike xmame) and kinda faster (i THINK).

do you run it as root so that it has privilege to save the appropriate config files?
