And make sure it's UBUNTU: here's why
Ubuntu (the Gnome 'flavor') runs best on most Lenovo/IBM laptops. I have one so I know this to be the case.

Kubuntu (the KDE 'flavor') has problems on this same hardware, mostly with video and consistency with menus and smaller visual elements. The 9.10 version will install and boot, which is more than could be said for 9.04 or previous versions, but unless you have your laptop "maxed out" in terms of RAM and other hw goodies, you're bound to have issues (and even IF you're set for RAM w/re Vista, don't expect K to be as conciliatory.) Go with the Gnome and, if you're itching for another "look," LiveCD or VNC/virtual-machine it.

Hope this helps.

dh_installemacsen

DH_INSTALLEMACSEN(1)						     Debhelper						      DH_INSTALLEMACSEN(1)

NAME

       dh_installemacsen - register an Emacs add on package

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installemacsen [debhelperoptions] [-n] [--priority=n] [--flavor=foo]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installemacsen is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing files used by the Debian emacsen-common package into package
       build directories.

       It also automatically generates the preinst postinst and prerm commands needed to register a package as an Emacs add on package. The
       commands are added to the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how this works.

FILES

       debian/package.emacsen-compat
	   Installed into usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/compat/package in the package build directory.

       debian/package.emacsen-install
	   Installed into usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/package in the package build directory.

       debian/package.emacsen-remove
	   Installed into usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/remove/package in the package build directory.

       debian/package.emacsen-startup
	   Installed into etc/emacs/site-start.d/50package.el in the package build directory. Use --priority to use a different priority than 50.

OPTIONS

       -n, --no-scripts
	   Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.

       --priority=n
	   Sets the priority number of a site-start.d file. Default is 50.

       --flavor=foo
	   Sets the flavor a site-start.d file will be installed in. Default is emacs, alternatives include xemacs and emacs20.

NOTES

       Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
       instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7) "usr/share/doc/emacsen-common/debian-emacs-policy.gz"

       This program is a part of debhelper.
