Me too have a Lenovo N100 Laptop and been running Ubuntu from day 1 
without any major problems. If am not wrong, you have a "desgined for 
Windows" sticker on your laptop, right ?!

I had a similar problem during initial days with Dapper. I started with 
Dapper beta and upgraded it to stable. Sometimes it used to freeze all 
of a sudden and the only way to recover is power_down-power_up.

But now, I have moved to edgy and I do not face that problem these days. 
I am not sure if it is a bug in Dapper as similar things did not happen 
to others AFAIK, but it may be a problem with respect to Lenovo.

Updating to the latest kernel did reduce the frequency of occurrence of 
the problem for me with dapper. May be try that :)
