I bought one a couple months ago. Very happy. Originally came with Edgey
(Ubuntu 6.10) and the upgrade to Feisty (7.04) was smooth and complete.
Great little machine. Good price, and handling all the drivers for the
hw that aren't in the stock kernel in a single package works great. The
restore CD, is a standard Ubuntu install cd.
Boots in 20-25s, and suspend & hibernate work great. Mine was comparable
in price to the nearest Dell option at the time.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
