Have I bought extra a year ago the unit to play on a Linux variant. At first I tried Suse, but that was not around. That's why I switched to Ubuntu and can only say-perfect! No problem with any drivers, starts up in less than 1 minute, listen to music, edit, transfer to iPod, surf the web, watch movies, edit photos, texts written is no problem and without additional installed memory! I am also very impressed by how well the notebook responds to the WLAN, our Windoofrechner have in our house otherwise all big problems with it. Mir is the baby also geknallt- ever from about 1 meter on the tiled floor except a mini scar there is no penalty damages hinterlassen- therefore quite stable part. Who had to necessarily have Micro scrap your own fault! I mean with Ubuntu together, there is optimal 5 points!
