It's true, and it sounds like you probably have more experience in that
department than I do, but things have improved dramatically since I tried it
just a couple years back.  With Ubuntu, wireless, graphics acceleration, and

through the last time.  Might be interesting to check back sometime and see how
things have progressed.
