The Dell Inspiron Mini 9 has been reviewed with the supplied Ubuntu and it looks very promising! [URL]http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4578[/URL] - The footprint is small as the standard model only comes with 4GB - The 32Wh battery lasts for over 3 hours; for AAO's 22Wh that would mean over 2 hours (edit: this calculation is flawed..) - Recovery from suspend is almost as fast as my MacBook Pro (shown in video) - Boot time is around 20 seconds Most likely audio and card reader will still not work properly though.. Let's hope the recovery DVD/CD leaks to the internet soon!! EDIT Maybe we should keep an eye out on this page: [URL]http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_8.04[/URL]
