I am buying shortly a 14 inch laptop from Pro-Star. Their number 5422. This is really a Clevo M540N. Does anyone have any experience with this laptop and could you recommended a good trouble free distribution of Linux for this hardware?

Well, since this laptop is build on a VIA PN800 Chipset and uses Intel Core Duo. There are though 2 versions, only difference beeing the graphics card. One is up to 128 shared mb, the other up 64 mb.

But then again it's "all" kernel depending. I guess Fedora Core / OpenSuSe / Ubuntu etc.... Are all good choices.

I'd check this review as well, just for on an info-base:
