Seriously, what about UBUNTU ?



Also, the mainstream desktop Linux vendors have done preintegrated loads
for HP and IBM laptops which include device drivers for the built-in
devices -- for modern laptops.

I have a Thinkpad R40. Everything works with OpenSUSE 10.2. Including
the modem. The wireless is Atheros-based, I had to download an extra
driver that has a binary blob.

Same on my cheap Acer (I'm not sure about the modem).

Ideally, one exercises some discretion pre-purchase:-)

But this isn't Zed.
