[lug] Ubuntu Netbook

[Jose Castilleja]

I purchased a thinkpad x120e and have Ubuntu Maverick installed on it.  
It´s not technically a netbook, though it is small.  It´s extremely 
powerful and the nearly 4 hour battery life has suited my needs.  The 
RealTek wireless card always requires building the driver from source, 
but is usually not a problem, and survives from one kernal update to the 
next.
