Description: This laptop was a really good candidate for linux. Everything worked out of the box with Mandrake 10.1 except for the onboard wireless. Which was easily fixed with ndiswrapper (10 mins fix). Mine came with a DVD/CD burner, but I have yet to try those out. Soon I will get around to it, and then post a reply.

If I remember correctly, I did not install the flglx drivers for the card, so I dont know if they work either. Thats next on the docket.
