Unfortunately not this time. I have actually already put Kubuntu on my laptop but am having problems with it as well (post coming soon!)... Yes, fedorafaq.org has been a tremendous help in the past.

You'll find the same thing in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, except that those directories (under /usr) are not traditionally expected to be available to the system at boot time. * I'm not a big fan of the proprietary drivers but if you find the free ones untenable, you might want to check out fedorafaq.org for help trying them out.
