I hear ya.  F9 seems to take a lot more effort to get working properly, 
at least on my hardware, than F8.  I got so fed up I've switched to 
CentOS.  The repo feels a bit old compared to Fedora but you're still in 
a familiar environment.  ( I do have an odd problem with my DVD player 
but that's for another email.)  If you like Red Hat / KDE then 
Scientific Linux is pretty fun.  I was using it last year on a thinkpad. 
  Worked right out of the box.  I haven't used Ubuntu but I have used 
Debian and understand if you make the switch.  The package manager isn't 
that big a deal.  You'll get used to it in two seconds.
