[Alex <presoblu@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had to buy a notebook with just one requirement: a flawless ubuntu
compatibility. I live in Italy, and 6 years after the filing of this
bug, I haven't found a way to match my requirement.

I googled everything, visited linlap, asked to the community and chats.
No way. Every single notebook I can find in the shops has its own
specifics: for instance my Dell Studio 15 can be different from your
Dell Studio 15 (video, wireless, webcam).

When I read on the internet a review that says "i just installed Lucid
on this notebook model no. xxxxx and everything went perfectly", you can
be sure that that notebook isn't on the market anymore.

Why Canonical can't apply some sticker "tested with Ubuntu 10.04" on
compatible systems? Or distribute its own assembled computers,
compatibility granted? Or reach an agreement with a brand to sell
worldwide a compatible model? Or host on its site a list of all the
computers out there (at least those who agree to be tested)?

I think that we are focus on minor bugs, losing attention on the #1.

I bought a Dell, and have my finger crossed for the day I will try
Ubuntu on it: I consider this one as a great defeating, 6 years after
the filing of this bug.
