Ideal business grade laptop/notebook for running recent Linux distros (Ubuntu Karmic etc)? [closed]

"I just got my SL510 and it is the first IBM/Lenovo laptop I have owned I have had it about two weeks and it is by far the best laptop I have owned. I run mostly opensoure OSs and while I have yet to install Ubuntu 9.10, due to the fact that I want to keep windows 7 and the thinkvantage suite, the live .iso runs great and all hardware is working, to my supprise even the wireless is detected and works out of the gate, the same can not be said for my dell mini in a live session.

The SL510 is VERY robust, I read in a personal review that the guy stood on his brand spanking new SL510 to no ill effect, so I had to test this, I'm 210Lbs and I stood on the closed lid of my laptop and laughed like a little kid when I opened it and booted with nothing broken.

For just shy of $800-USD you get the closest thing to a toughbook I have ever seen or heard about. my only con would be the screen res (1366 x 768) would liked to have seen a 14xx x 1024 or the likes."
