"Despite the myth that Linux runs on anything, Ubuntu often doesn't perform well on $500 laptop hardware out of the box."
The myth here is the notion that you can point to any one install and say, "that's Linux". Without being pedantic and pointing out that Linux is just the kernel, it's important to remember that "Linux" is a lot of things, Ubuntu being only one example. Linux *will* run on pretty much anything (within reason), but that doesn't mean that Ubuntu is the right distribution for all (or even most) systems.
