    Just in case anybody else is interested in purchasing such laptop, I managed to get Ubuntu 6.10 running first time without any problems.

    WiFi works out of the box (all you have to do is enable the connection in the network admin tool and enter your SSID and passwords) as does power management - which actually gives me more information about my remaining battery life than Windows did.

    :cool:

    That's great. I haven't found a major device that Ubuntu cannot recognize at once!
