Linux living on Acer Timeline 3810


Hello,
Before I buy a laptop I would like to check if users have some troubles with these models. I tried googling and searching LQ, but couldn't find any user opinions about the Timeline series. Has anyone managed to install a linux distro on this? What would be a suitable distribution? I'm used to Slackware (but won't continue with it in future) and I'm willing to try Debian. X/K/G/Ubuntu subtypes are forbiden. Will installing it from a flash drive be a difficult?
