Sony is a very proprietary company and quite Linux-unfriendly (the
laptops might have hardware for which there are no drivers; the PS[23]
is a different matter).
I'm the happy owner of a Thinkpad T60 wide screen and everything worked
with Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) without a hitch - including suspend and
resume. It is slightly on the heavy side, but that's what you pay for
the wide screen. If you want light, get a 14'1 and that is one of the
lightest laptops in it's [business] class.
Cheers,
florin
