Just picked one up. Pre-installed with Windows 7. I want to dual-boot Ubuntu 9 (or another flavor of linux if you suggest it's better).

I've done this in the past with Dell and HP laptops and some of them gave me problems, some didn't. I guess it was just a make/model issue. Never done it with a IBM computer.

Will I run into any missing driver problems? Or should everything run smoothly?

Thanks in advance.

In my experience, it should work smoothly.

It will work, but in my opinion wait for the LTS release of Ubuntu (coming out this april) and then dual boot. Ubuntu would be great dual with 7.

Oh, snap, Drake. You're here? What's up, man!?

Personal experience, huh? Cool. Thanks, bro.

Yeah, I'm here. I am also staying.

Yep, personal experience. I dual boot on all my computers.

Well, I'd figure you'd stay. lol

Wouldn't make sense if you just showed up to comment on my thread then bounce... lol Jk, man

Should work. Don't see why not.

It should work smoothly, but just incase it doesnt, id suggest driver genious, it will automatically search the web for you for the latest drivers for all your hardware, and all you have to do is click dl, and it gets them all for you automatically.

Driver genius? That's application for linux I'm assuming?
