Sorry acorn, I haven't replied to you post, because I'm not a laptop user and have no Idea. All I know, is that I've read quite a bit on bugs with resume from suspend and hibernate issues with laptops. Only reason I've read about that is because I have some issues on my tower PC's :?

ahh...Its fine...im not in a hurry...Yeah laptops are tricky to setup...but thats the fun part ;) I dont usually use suspend/hibernate mostly because that even in windows they dont work very well with my current laptop. It runs Ultimate Edition fine tho...although quite slow in my opinion. Thx for the reply tho!

Any one has a thinkpad n running Ultimate Edition? If so, how well does it run? I heard that thinkpads works well with linux.

Have run multiple distros on mine 2 laptops (both asus: A6R /F3TC)
The A6R give alot of sound problems (google on "linux A6R sound") but for the rest its running smootly on most
distros (sometimes have to reconfigure X but whats new)
And the F3TC is a really nice laptop (A6R is now atm from mine children ;) ) can run a lot of distros but need
the latest kernel and sometimes need to install madwifi (wlan) because a lot of distros have problems with the
Atheros wifi chipset. The nvidia geforce 7700 go is regconized in many distros and nvidia has of course driver
support for linux... so you can overcome that hill also....

just mine 2cents for your post....
