Yes, but still, it is not Debian. You can, of course, access Ubuntu packages from Debian and vice versa, but Debian has a much neater and more complete base system, and stricter package QC [IIRC].

Curious. There's no point in having a swappable bay if you can only have the one thing in there. I've a T20, and the DVD-ROM works fine.
was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.
