Hi guys & gals, with regards to laptops in general, the laptop team have done some sterling work & they have now fully integrated into the tracker system for testing [1]. If any of you do test any of the *buntu family on a laptop, may I ask that you do provide a profile and thus let others know how you get along. This information is invaluable to others who want to decide which laptop is 'plug & go' Vs 'a complete nightmare'.
