I tested it on debian and ubuntu, on ubuntu it's all easy, for debian we have to search more for the drivers (wifi and graphic). I'll give you further infos later.
This computer runs well with Linux (ubuntu e debian tested). I thought that the nvidia card cunsumes a lot, but it consumes approssimately like a pc with an intel card: 20-30 Watt during a normal use. You can work with the battery more than 2 hours.

I tested it using ojuba (built on fedora) it goes almost well … well … except I had to install it from the live usb not the cd … and sometimes, or let's say 3 out of 4 times it doesn't start if I reboot the computer … but when it succeeds to start, nothing stops it from runnig the rest of the month without any problem (it's not a real problem to me since I don't reboot or turn the pc off too much)
According ubuntu … I'm sorry, but I tried installing it(Ubuntu 10.10) from the cd or the live usb .. it didn't even start booting,and that also happend when trying to install fedora -the main distribution-.
If anyone have anything according ubuntu please feed me back … thanks in advance
