Would you recommend the product? yes | Price you paid? (in USD): $699.00 | Rating: 9

Kernel (uname -r): 2.6.4-52 and now 2.6.9
Distribution: SusE or Slackware



SUSE:
When KDE loads, I get a message
"You monitor did not report is X and Y geometry correctly" however, I can read everything without a problem, so I just ignore it. This happens on the stock 2.6.4 kernel. When I compiled 2.6.9, this no longer happens.

Very happy with my laptop, you should probably add for RAM though.

<edit> Modem works with the hsfmodem package available at
www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/index.php < /edit>

Had to type nousb when selecting the kernel before installing or the keyboard would not work. Other than that install went well.

Kernel (uname -r): 2.6.11.10, 2.6.12-rc4-mm1, 2.6.11-ck8-r1
Distribution: Gentoo


Gentoo 2004.3 and 2005.0 have worked flawlessly. There is no need to get the ATI drivers from the link I posted earlier as the default install of gentoo allows 3d accelertation.

I still haven't tried the modem since I use either my LAN connection at work, or wireless at work. (wireless added after purchase)
If you want my CFLAGS, just IM me
