can anyone see any reason for this one not to work with ubuntu?http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/xenon/
Thanks for posting that, and good to hear it works ok. I tried 11.04 on my sons netbook and wasn't sure about unity. Very tidy but hard to find a few things. Still there are always alternative desktops. Thanks again and good luck with your new machine.
pcspecialist is missing out by not giving compatibility advice. They could easily do that without promising any further support. And Ubuntu peer support is fantastic, so they don't have to worry.
