Anyone have any feedback on Linux compatibility? (Ubuntu?)

Yes, it does support Ubuntu. Running 12.10 on this with no problems, graphics card recognized and all drivers installed properly.

I talked my sister through installing Linux Mint (a branch of Ubuntu) onto hers. She loves it. We used the 64 bit version and upgraded the memory to the entire 16 GB that it holds.

No answer for using it with a Linux system, but works great with my home brew set up.There are way bettercamers, but have no complaints with this one.

Yup. If I am not mistaken. The product page have list of the systems requirement and OS compatible

I'm sorta nervous about being the first person in the known universe to put Ubuntu on one of these. Can somebody ease my apprehensions?

Yes, and it works very well. One caveat, it requires making changes and configurations. There is a link which provides, Google Phil's Project Blog. His information is the best that I came across. Read the blog and decide if you are up to this. My recommendation is that it is worthwhile and will give you a better understanding on Linux configuration.

It doesnot support linux. I have tried it on Ubuntu and Fedora. Use only for windows.

Ubuntu runs great, as well as archlinux :-) Mint should run quite nicely as far

It works fine with Ubuntu and I see no reason why it wouldn't work OK with CentOS etc. Is there a particular flavour you want to run on it?

I am wondering the same thing. I will be using the most recent release of either CentOS or Ubuntu and I would hate to find out it doesn't work on Linux.

It should work, I have installed many Linux distros on this as well as many flavors of windows.

Yes...I have Linux Lite on it now. Have used Mint..Peppermint...and PClinuxOS also. All work fine.

I have not tested with the newer version of Ubuntu. On pclinuxos with a kernel newer than 3.10 the hardware driver included does not work well at all. The driver from the manufacturer will need extra work to compile.

No problems, dualbooting win7 and linux mint (it's a ubuntu based os)both 64bit, just make sure you're using mbr, and not gpt.

Yes, so far this works with any pc I've thrown it against. Xp, win 7 and 8 work fine. I have yet to try it with a Linux box or Mac.

Has anyone tried Linux on this laptop?Looking at the specifications, it should be a pretty standard installation, except possibly for the Atheros wifi chip, which may require some fiddling.I haven't seen any news on any of the major Linux forums yet, but this laptop is still pretty new as I type this message.

I'm sure you could find some more information on the forums. I personally have not tried running it on Linux. I would imagine you just need to find the correct drivers to run it properly. Good luck.
