No problem! You should stop by the shop once you get it in, I am right behind 
Brunos Pizza now.

IBM usually has good linux support and I found this quickly 
http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=downloads linux drivers for the Intel. I also 
found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1384577 so you may need to 
download them.
Or you can always switch it out for an atheros and be very happy, have a happy 
lappy!

I was looking at the Lenovo E520. It has the option of either a ThinkPad 1x1 
b/g/n WiFi adapter or an Intel WiFi Link 1000.

Do you know which adapter is better to get in terms of Ubuntu compatibility?

Chuq thanks for the ideas.


I looked at Dell, HP, and Lenovo today and am strongly leaning towards a Think 
Pad.

Core i5 acers are a real good cost effective thought. Personally I have 
repaired many of laptops and the ones that have the least problems in my 
experience are lenovo and acer actually. I saw core i5 lenovo the oter day new 
for around $500 or so. 
Hardware wise the acers work well with linux, most of the time having atheros 
chipset wifi cards.
If you are interested in anything let me know.
