> Its not as bad as it used to be. Linux supports hardware (and since a lot
of systems are based off basic 'platforms' - especially portable systems),
and its gotten much better. Also, with a livecd or live usb, you can test
hardware *before* you actually get a box running (or better yet, check out
the HCL, and get parts that work). With wider commercial use of linux, and
many systems based off similar platforms (centrino, atom, ion etc) the
situation is likely to get even better.

I've found, barring unusual install situations, (and i had some ) that the
sheer choice you have with ubuntu/linux installs (minimal cd, netboot,
wubi/image install and your plain vanilla live cd and installer cd methods)
tends to mean there's something that works. In my lan, i have one vector
linux box (ubuntu wouldn't run on it)- a PIII 700 with 128 mb of ram, a old
PIII 450 with 640 mb of ram i use as a web/irc server running jaunty, and my
daily use box running kubuntu jaunty (with kde 4.3).

"An OS that fits *your* needs" sounds like a good slogan to me ;p
