Just a few days ago I wrote about Dell, Ubuntu and Linux conquering the world in 2007. Today I'm the proud owner of a brand new System76 Pangolin.
Her name is Amber (she joins Flenser, Woodcarver, Alpha and Manny) and she's a nice Core 2 Duo T7200 laptop with a gorgeous 15.4" wide screen and 2 Gb. of RAM running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn.
Ordering from System76 was a great experience, I was able to pay directly from my checking account, I got quick and friendly email replies from Carl and Erik to all my questions before and after buying and they even upgraded my shipping to 2nd day UPS for free.
The laptop works perfectly out of the box. I turned it on, followed Ubuntu's simple wizard to create my user account, which runs the first time you boot, and it detected my home Wi-Fi network instantly. I was browsing the Net in just a couple of minutes. I'll be telling you more about sweet Amber in a few days, she's now my main computer.
I plan on buying another laptop later this year and even if I'd like to try a Linux Dell I'm quite happy with my first System76 and could go for a Serval next.
Anyway, if you're on the market for a Linux laptop, System76 is highly recommended. Meanwhile, why don't you meet Amber on Flickr?

Pangolin!
Hey! I was just browsing google when I noticed your post. I also own a Pangolin, and I love it. I'm definitely going for another System76 if I ever need a new laptop (maybe the newest Pangolin :) )
Yep, System 76 really rocks!
And sure thing, I'm also thinking about System 76 for my next laptop, maybe the Darter, I need something smaller for using on planes.
Enjoy your Pangolin :)
