Linux not ready for the laptop? Oh please... I have a Dell Inspiron | 8500 and everything works. When I slam in my ASUS wireless card it gets instantly recognized (plug&play) and I am ready to go. 802.11n works like a charm if you have a wireless network card that is not designed for Windows (Ralink based cards for example). And if you don't like the fact that your current wireless card is not supported than why don't you sell it on eBay and buy a new one for $24,99? It's that little for freedom. Suspend, sleep, etc did work when I used Kubuntu 7.10 but with the new community supported Kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 Rmx it doesn't because the graphics driver doesn't work, but that's an unstable, unfinished peace of bleeding-edge community build distro with an unfinished bleeding-edge GUI.
