Thanks for the heads-up.  Friday, when I go back into the office, I'll
look into it.

Gentoo will be an improvement only because I already feel comfortable
administering a Gentoo system whereas Ubuntu is sufficiently different
that I am uncomfortable in that environment.  I'm sure, given enough
time, I could extend my Gentoo-specific knowledge to Ubuntu, but I
bought the new laptop to save me time (the old one was too slow...)
and the tech support that I paid for didn't come to my rescue, thus
the disappointment.
