If it makes you feel better, Kubuntu (my distro of choice) isn't documenting
this any better _or_ giving you a better pre-configured setup. It might
(and I think probably does) work out of the box with a fresh install, but
there's a ton of people having trouble with it right now (yesterday I
completely lost the ability to mount a usb stick - not an automounting
problem, because it doesn't even generate a kernel message).
