Paul </blockquote> Yes I have one...have had it for about two months now, purchased from Ebuyer. Mine came pre-installed with Linpus Linux which I quickly deleted and installed Ubuntu 11.04. It works pretty much out of the box. You need to install the proprietary nvidia driver and there is a quick fix for the shutdown problem by blacklisting a particular wireless driver as follows: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; ">place "blacklist rt2800pci" at the bottom of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and reboot. You will need to initially switch off the unit by holding the power button down for a few seconds but after you will be able to reboot/shutdown without any problem. I am delighted with my little Revo, it runs on very low power and is almost completely silent. It is perfect for everyday use and works great with multimedia by virtue of the onboard nvidia ion graphics chip. If you require any further info Paul, please email me direct I can thoroughly recommend. regards, Steve <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:macstevejb@gmail.com">macstevejb@gmail.com</a> </body> </html>
