Tested on SuSe 9.2 Pro, most stuff worked - a list of what didn't (or what I haven't tested) follows: ACPI - Working - Didn't work straight away - but only needed to enable a couple of services, then worked fine. Infrared - Not Tested - Device detected, but hasn't yet been tested Bluetooth - Not Tested - Device detected, but hasn't yet been tested Wireless - Not Tested - Device doesn't appear to be up (or enableable), but can't test as no wireless access points available Firewire - Not Tested - Device detected, but hasn't yet been tested Modem - Not Working - SuSe doesn't detect the modem, although haven't made any serious attempts to get it working yet Fancy Buttons - Not Working - There are a few fancy buttons for starting applications etc. They don't seem to be working, but are a bit windows specific anyway... Battery life is approx 1.5hours with the powersaving enabled, can be down to about 30mins with the whole thing running flat out. All in all, seems to be working pretty well under Linux (also, the 64bit processor means Wine works (won't work on my desktop which is running an Athlon XP), so I haven't got any form of windows running on it).
