I started by trying Ubuntu 9.04 and than 8.04, then 7.04, which finally
work. And I spent 1 day to install 7.04, upgrade to 8.04 then to 9.04,
which still doesn't work.

I went through this. People suggest yellow dog linux for me. I opt for
openSUSE for its wide coverage of package repository because I am a
demanding user that uses 20 software tools for my work (although none of
them are software development tools) and i hate to mess with the trouble
of installing software outside package repository because my old
experience told me it could be a blackwhole sucks in time. YDL offer a
very narrow package repository.
