They done good. I liked Kubuntu 5.04 (I am still using it at home btw), but then I used my own kernel. I am running a 2.6.16 at the moment (with realtime-lsm patch for use with jackd). Most of the time the problems are driver (usually known as kernel) problems. So most of the time, when a distro gets slagged, it is normally just the kernel that is the problem. All distros that I tried bailed horribly on my laptop, so I had to do some homework to get it running nicely. Argh ATI... Next round I think I will stick to something Intel or Nvidia based for graphics, as long as it is in the 14" form factor that I now like so much. > >>> Personally, I have always disabled suspend resume, my experience is that >>> it is buggy regardless of the OS.

(I did say that I was aware of my own, idiosyncrasies, didn't I?) plus even under windows (before I finally removed it to rescue the space), it sometimes would not resume or simply be "unstable" until it rebooted. Now when the lid closes it just turns off the LCD. I also have fairly aggressive HD spindown so the battery lasts a long time anyway. > > My latop is always on the move too. I use it everywhere.
