    Hi all, I will buy an UL30 (A or VT, will see) and I will use GNU/Linux on this laptop, Ubuntu in particular, is there someone (lucky) out there already using GNU/Linux? Can you share your experence please?

    Which model? Which GNU/Linux distribution/version?

    Thank you in advance :)

    I am also very interested in this, though I will be likely using Ubuntu 9.10 from within Win7 as I am currently doing now using VirtualBox.

    As I said in the UL30VT post maybe it's better to choose a more standard laptop avoid UL30VT and buy the UL30A if interested in using GNU/Linux.
