Hi all

I'm finally replacing my aging P3 lappy, and I have three choices:

ACER TM2413LM: Cel-M 1.5, 256MB, 40GB, DVDRW at £399.99;

TOSHIBA L20-217: Cel-M 1.3, 256MB, 60GB, DVDRW, 802.11g at £449.99;

ACER AS3003WLMI: AMD Sempron 3000+ 1.8GHz, 512MB, 60GB, DVDRW, 802.11g
at £469.99

Any one of them is plenty powerful enough for my needs (and truth be
told, my preference is the AMD as it's also got a 15.4" widescreen) -
but I want to make sure that whichever one I go for, Ubuntu is going
to 'Just Work'.

Has anyone had any experience of Linux on any of these three, and
opinions they would like to offer?

Thanks in advance

Neil
