Hiyas,

having finally had some sleep and a re-read, it all makes sense :)

The ubuntu friendly part is to profile your laptop & see how it performs
with *buntu installed, such things as graphics chips etc. can cause
problems. Once the laptop is registered as being *buntu friendly it allows
people to quickly see what laptops work with *buntu with no pain. I've
either been very lucky, else full *buntu support is supported by many
laptops. All mine have taken to it like ducks to water. But I am aware that
not all laptops get on with the penguin mainly due to closed source drivers
for graphics etc.

I'll get the tests run on my EasyNote and profile it.

Regards,

Phill.
