Recent and very great Linux Distribution based on Debian
An Ubuntu Ati Driver How To has been placed here
Note that recent versions (between 8.10 to 9.04 at least) will drop randomly when connected to the uni network, this can be fixed by using 8.04 or adding "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main" to your sources and forcing the old version of the wpasupplicant package, you will need to downgrade libnm-glib0, network-manager and gnome-network-manager. Tested with Ubuntu 9.04, presumably kubuntu users will have some differences. If you use synaptic it will bug out a bit, but it will work once you have them all downgraded, remember to lock their versions too.
Has a great autodetection of hardware and generally works well. A good start for someone who doesn't want to spend many dark nights wrestling with man

[edit] Network Issues
For ethernet:
In /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
fast_reauth=0
network={
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
phase1="peaplabel=1"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
identity="username@aber.ac.uk"
password="password"
}
In /etc/network/interfaces add:
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp wpa-driver wired wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
This should fix dropouts on the Uni network - for me at least, YMMV.
