Wow. I just got it back, two days after sending it to Atlanta. I'll test
it for a few days before changing anything. I'm not convinced they
actually fixed anything. We shall s

Alas, I won't have it with me at the sprint. The hardware has failed. It's
going to Atlanta for repairs.

It's a great recipe for hypertension, as I have found out.
Alright then. I'll order the ThinkPad t460s. Thanks for your advice.

Indeed, it runs Sabayon right now.
But a lot of others in the office, with similar hardware, are using Ubuntu,
Mint, and Fedora and others to great success.
The place I'm working now (InMotion Hosting) is almost all Linux from Tier
2 onward; a few Macs. Only the Tier 1 group uses Windows for domain

Hi Edward,
I've got word back from my friend that the Gazelle is most likely presently
being updated to the 7th Generation Core processors; its a Clevo-oem'd
system, and the present KabyLake upstream model is out, so its probably
another month or 2 of driver work for Ubuntu on it. If you need som

any Linux or BSD distro under a hypervisor - at near native speed.
I typically have Parallels running, with a Windows VM running (for
Quicken and Visio), k
I recently bought a lease return Lenovo T430 Thinkpad. Everything "just

Hi Edward I would recommend a system76 laptop they've got lots of different
ones to meet your price point as well as your requirements for quietness I
could even put you in touch with someone who worked on them specifically
like actually worked for the company so he could attest to their quietness
My Windows laptop is showing its age. I'd like to have a Linux laptop for
the Ashland sprint.
Any suggestions for a relatively powerful *quiet* Ubuntu laptop?
