The "problem" with System76's approach is what if (like me) you have an aversion to Debian (alikes)?
I'm not saying Ubuntu is a bad distro, but I've been a SuSE guy since (iirc) 5.4. It's what I support on friends' machines. And gentoo on my own machines now. My latest foray into the debian world was linux mint, which installed fine ... and then when I upgraded the system got trashed. Dunno what went wrong, couldn't fix it, and ended up overwriting it with SuSE ... :-)
Cheers,

Of course. And you're still free to buy ZaReason instead.
The hardware still seems solid. I've booted Fedora off my old laptop's drive and it ran just fine, though it was in an external enclosure so I can't speak to its use as a full laptop.
Of course, ZaReason will support your Fedora or SuSE install if you'd prefer to go that route instead.
