Sounds like you haven't used Ubuntu in a few years. As long as you do a little reading before you buy, everything works seamlessly; it's been three years years

Sounds like you haven't used Ubuntu in a few years. As long as you do a little reading before you buy, everything works seamlessly; it's been three years years since I've run into a hardware conflict or had to edit xorg.conf. Things like using my Nexus One as a modem actually works a lot better under Ubuntu than Mac OS X.
