> Sadly, Linux hardware support is still hit and miss This actually cuts both ways. I ended up dual-booting for AutoCAD on my laptop. It's apparently at an age where AutoCAD still works well, but trackpad drivers don't work correctly in Windows. Because it's only used for AutoCAD though, I'll only ever be using a mouse, rendering the problem (mostly) moot. This isn't an issue with Ubuntu, as everything from the trackpad, to the funky keyboard keys, just works.
