Hey, I’m a kubuntu user on somewhat similar hardware… a 5050 which is a little over a year old, with no webcam or bluetooth. External speakers work fine, but they have a separate mixer channel which may need to be shown in Kmix, on mine its called “Surround”

Gutsy worked perfectly, Hardy is rocking even more….. Wireless is an issue, but Ndiswrapper works well

you can see my write up for issues with this laptop at http://nosrednaekim.wordpress.com/2007/12/04/acer-5050-with-kubuntu-710-gutsy/

And BTW, there’s also a One version for Gnome. As equally supported by Mandriva than the KDE One.

Officials Mandriva repositories are easy to setup :

+ method 1 :
Mandriva Control Center -> Software Management -> Configure media for install and updates
Then click on the Add button, and then select “full set of sources”

+ method 2 :
directly launch drakrpm-edit-media” and click on the add button

+ method 3 :
from CLI, use urpmi.addmedia.
