I've been running the last two releases of Ubuntu (7.04 and 7.10) on Thinkpads. I've had no problems except for suspend/hibernate. I gather those issues aren't solved yet for most people (well, Linux users, anyway).<br>
<br>I don't know about Atheros. I do know that some people have had problems with HP laptops. Otherwise, download and enjoy!!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 21, 2008 at 5:05 PM, Chris K. <<a href="mailto:lister@kulish.com">lister@kulish.com</a>> wrote:<br>

Ubuntu anyway. :P<br>
<br>
At least until I see that the desktop distros can go on a laptop with no<br>
fuss, no muss.<br>
The last distro I tried, fedora core5 I think, still had a bunch of<br>
hoops for getting wireless running.<br>
<br>
Anyone know if the more recent distros like Unbuntu, Fedora, etc "just<br>
work" for the most part?<br>
All of my laptops are fairly recent with the Atheros (I think) wireless<br>
chipsets.<br>
