How can a place that is about Linux news be so Linux distribution unfriendly? Not the site itself, but the people who comment. Seems that it should rename itself Lxer: Let's not talk about Ubuntu. Oh no, now I've gone and equated Linux with Ubuntu.

Once again Microsoft is interfering the pc market by declaring that in order to sell a UMPC, it must meet specifications that they set. What a joke.
Convicted Monopolist Microsoft

Just booted my laptop off the newest Ubuntu . Good to see everything worked, including the 3-d effects on the Intel GM965 graphics controller.

I'm playing with open mesh routers. If you are near me, log on to the eschreyer-open-mesh network and get your free wifi.

This notebook rocks. Time from boot to Ubuntu Linux 20 minutes. Time to correct my mistake in giving that other OS to much space, another 20 minutes (I just reinstalled). Number of hardware issues, zero. Yes, you read that right, everything worked, and that is a testament to the hard working Linux kernel developers. Great job guys.

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...

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
What! Shouldn't the GPL licensed be licensed under the GPL? Shouldn't you be free to modify it to your hearts content? After all everybody seems to think that they need the right to modify every bit of software code, so why not the license that gives you that right. Oh, wait, YONAL so you wouldn't even think of modifying it.
(If you can't tell I'm being sarcastic)
