[PlanetCCRMA] Sulfur: works out of the box

For helping with the testing I installed Fedora 9 in my laptop and I
can say that everything worked pretty well too. The only downsides
I've found are Firefox 3 being slow for scrolling and not compatible
with the extensions I use. I installed the CCRMA kernel and it boots
and seems to work fine but Power Manager is not started and the
wireless led doesn't work. The Fedora 9 kernel seems to provide a nice
power management as it is able to dim my screen light when running
with battery power and it even dims it more when idle (Mac style).
I'll keep testing.

Cheers!

Hector
