I have it on my laptop on which I use for web design. I was very impressed with it too, although I think it is a bit odd that they use firefox as the default web browser as I found it very slow and memory intensive. It is pretty amazing how fast it runs (loads up in about 1 minute) on my Pentium II which struggles to run Windows NT.
This is the kind of thing we should be trying to tell people about - who
knows what people have in their attic dismissed as unusable. Even if you
do have to have a book with you when using it for when it's sorting
itself out (and at least it does sort itself out) it saved at least two
of my laptops from the skip.
