Do you anticipate any problems with this system running Linux Ubuntu ?

I wouldn't expect any problems. Proper Intel drivers must be included in the latest version of Ubuntu (and other Linux distributions), so there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

If the laptop meets the system requirements for the software that you want to run, and it has a free USB port, then you should be fine. (Cpu clock speed, ram, and hard drive space)

It should work well, since you already have the minimum config for it to run. I have seen it running on a 1 RAM, and 1.7 ghz, thus you should be fine. All you might get is a 5,5 ms latency, but that is nothing to worry, since it is a reasonable latency and will run fine.

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

As a general PC it is fine. We are not using it for gaming. Boot up takes maybe 15 seconds.

A lot is going to depend on your kernel version (regardless of what distro you're running), and the actual hardware you're using (video card, monitor, etc). Having said that, I'm currently using this KVM to switch between a desktop running Fedora 18 and a laptop/docking station that's running Fedora 19 and haven't run into any showstoppers yet. Had some issues with screen resolution when I tried to replace the OOTB Nvidia video drivers with the proprietary versions, and there are some keyboard shortcuts in the documentation that I found to be glaringly absent (see my review of the product for details), but none of the issues were big enough that I couldn't use the product.

Not quite, you'd need to install memory, hard drive (sold separately) and then the operation system. For me, Ubuntu Desktop v12 worked just fine.

Yep it sure will. Make sure you clean gpu and use fresh thermal paste. If on Linux and using nouveau it might run a bit hot so adding a fan to it probably won't hurt.

This is very good laptop overall, just Windows 7 are slowing it down quite a bit ( despite 3 GB of RAM installed).If you gonna use this I recommend replacing Windows w/ Linux ( I use Lubuntu very light & efficient free OS).

No problems there. Just insure that your PC has a USB3 port and the drivers are installed for maximum performance.

I don't think operating system would be an issue. Just make sure you don't stress out the power supply and you should be ok.

I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 Server (so no graphics tested) as a web/file server. No issues.

If you are asking if there are any driver errors when it is installed, then I, at least, have not experienced any. If you are asking if it is certified to run some Windows OS, than I can assure you it is above specs.

yes...this is an excellent computer. I went so far as to replace the OS with linux and downloaded a ton of music, videos, & apps & updated as required....just looked at the previous response, suggest installing Xubuntu instead of Ubuntu due to slim resources on this unit.

Go to the Crucial web page, They have tools there that will check Your system, and let You know what will work for Your system.

Sure, but if you already have this machine, you might trying setting up a Win8 VM on it. That would allow you to keep your installation reasonably virgin, and minimize the risks of changing the OS and bungling it all up.

I will try to boot up on Linux this evening, I'll let you know. I don't expect it to be any problem, but I'll report back.
