Good example for brand new hardware is Acer Aspire One. I have that notebook for testing just this night only. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspire_One Ubuntu 8.04.1 can not handle that notebook out-of-box, lan driver (r8169) fails. I think it is this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/225749 But Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 5 does. Here are screenshots from notebook as thin client. http://www.arkki.info/howto/Wiki/LTSP5/Ubuntu_8.10_Alpha_5_LTSP5_Acer_Aspire_One_01.png http://www.arkki.info/howto/Wiki/LTSP5/Ubuntu_8.10_Alpha_5_LTSP5_Acer_Aspire_One_02.png If you have very new hardware, you need very new distro/kernel and then LTSP5 works.
