It turns out I didn't read the fine print about KXStudio. Since having those difficulties with it, I found other reports online that it isn't an especially stable Ubuntu flavor. So I wiped it out and put standard Ubuntu 10.04 in its place, and found... both the WiFi and sleep/wake are working with no problem! So they aren't general Ubuntu bugs like I thought last night.

SuperCollider compiled from source with no particular problems -- I have that down to a science by now. The next adventure is to apply the real-time kernel. I wish there were step-by-step instructions online but it might take a little fiddling. I hope not too much.

I'm starting to pack for the flight tomorrow. On the way out in May, we were limited to two 50 pound suitcases apiece and faced with some interesting choices. (Put yourself in that position: Which 200 pounds of your stuff would you take with you, knowing that everything else needs to go into storage?) The choices are still interesting, but an additional 50 pounds is some relief. I'll have to pay a baggage fee for the domestic flight, but it's still cheaper than shipping the same amount overseas (which could easily run up to a truly insane $300!).
