You'll see I have other posts here declaring this computer Linux-proof, but an older distribution of Gnoppix runs well on it (and recognizes the NTFS partition, which has saved my XP data not once but twice). Kanotix runs on it very well. One or two versions of Knoppix run well on it.
Other distributions have not done well:
Red Hat (failure); Mandrake (failure, I think - it was some time ago); Damn Small Linux (failure); Suse (installed, but with many bugs)
The major issue remains the display, which very few distributions recognize automatically. Suse, oddly enough, had little problem with this, but runs slower than anything I've ever used. Even the LiveCDs run faster than this.
This laptop was made for Windows, though, so getting Linux onto it is always going to be a problem.
