ASUS W5FM running Ubuntu 6.10

This was my smoothest Linux instillation on a notebook out of the six total I've attempted. Maybe it's just that I'm getting the hang of it, but I am impressed by Ubuntu.

Hardware Components Status under Linux Notes
CPU (Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 Processor 2GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, FSB 667MHz) works both processors work "out of the box" each reporting bogomips = 3990
Display 12.1" works install 915resolution to get native 1280x768
10Base-T/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet works no problems
