[ubuntu-za] Ubuntu on Asus Zenbook

[David B Apter]

Hi All,
Does anyone run Ubuntu on an Asus Zenbook?  I would like to make the Zenbook my next laptop/netbook. However I do not wish to make this investment if Ubuntu does not run (fully) on this machine.
Secondly, I would really like to buy the Zenbook with Ubuntu pre-loaded.  Is this possible? Why pay for MS-win7 when itis destined for the waste basket? 

Many thanks,
Dave Apter
