Good to know its Linux-friendly. My Dad will probably be looking for a
laptop soon ... this machine looks like a good fit for him at a
reasonable price. Normally I would steer him towards the Thinkpad T520
but its overkill for his needs and this Edge E520 would save him a few
hundred dollars.

Thanks for sharing.
