Notebook Recommendations

[Behrang Saeedzadeh]

Hi all

I just bought an IBM R51. Thanks for your very informative tips and
recommendations. So far so good. I've not installed Ubuntu on the
system yet.

One question: Can I restore the system to the original configuration
if I repartition it and install Ubuntu on it?

The reseller told me something strange: I can restore the system to
the original configuration by just pressing the blue Access IBM key
during system initialization. Is this true or I have to backup the
system to an external media?

Thanks in advance.
