I'm using Ubuntu on the R52 and everything works fine. I didn't try the modem yet.

The only annoying thing was during installation when I had to configure a wired connection so that I can download wpasupplicant before I could get wireless working. Oh yes, mine is a dual boot. Windows XP home installed on the other one. I have removed the predesktop partition. Instead of that, I use Acronis True Image to create a partition where I can take backups or restore both the windows and the linux partitions. I had a bad time with Hoary and software suspend. So I have been using hibernate instead, and it works fine for me. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya * Puroga Technologies * <a href="mailto:sandip@puroga.com">sandip@puroga.com</a> Work: <a href="http://www.puroga.com">http://www.puroga.com</a> * Home/Blog: <a href="http://www.sandipb.net/blog">http://www.sandipb.net/blog </a> PGP/GPG Signature: 51A4 6C57 4BC6 8C82 6A65 AE78 B1A1 2280 A129 0FF3 -- The linux-thinkpad mailing list home page is at: <a href="http://mailman.linux-thinkpad.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-thinkpad"> http://mailman.linux-thinkpad.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-thinkpad</a> </blockquote></div> -- Jaime Iniesta AKA Capitán planeta email: capitanplaneta ARROBA gmail PUNTO com jabber: capitanplaneta ARROBA jabberes PUNTO org webs: <a href="http://capitanplaneta.blogspot.com/">http://capitanplaneta.blogspot.com/</a>
