i'm running an Acer 5315-2122 with debian "lenny" at the moment. it booted an ubutu and knoppix cd just fine. previously, I had suse running on it but switched to lenny, cuz the suse disn't seem to handle the sound card right. the debian seemed to fix things up just right. I got this one at a Radio-Shack store with a 2G memory for about $400.<br>

I'm considering purchasing the <span style="font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115543" target="_blank">Acer Aspire AS4730-4857</a> </span>notebook from <a href="http://newegg.com" target="_blank">newegg.com</a>, looks like a great buy. However, I want to be able to run Linux, preferably Ubuntu on this notebook. Does anyone have experience running Linux on this model, or on Acer notebooks in general?<br>
<br>Thanks,<br><font color="#888888"><br>Troy<br>
