I bought my daughter a Lenovo 3000 N200 for Christmas (the non core 2 duo one). It was cheap and ran the Kubuntu LiveCD without issue. Installed Ubuntu 7.10, did have some issues with the sound and had to edit the alsa config and add one line to get it to work (newer hardware I guess). Also had to load the BCM43XXX firmware to get the wireless to work. New hardware is always fun, easiest installation of Linux to date.

Great notebook and so far no problems, Ubuntu rocks.

I did say this was a short review...

PS I kept the Windows Vista Home Basic partition and all I can say is woof woof. People actually put up with this when they buy a computer? If I didn't know any better I would have thought that the mouse cursor was an arrow with a glowing circle. You'd think with 2.5GB ram it would be fast. My Dell C600 700MHz about to die any day now laptop is faster.
