Description: Intel Celeron-M 1.5Ghz
512MB RAM
60GB HD

I have installed Xandros and Mandriva, both of which worked fine with the exception of the wireless card (which can be sorted out with ndiswrapper) and the ACPI (battery life, etc) which I haven't managed to sort out yet. I couldn't get FC3 to start X properly either.

I added this item to the HCL but just wanted to reiterate that you can get the wireless card working with ndiswrapper using the .inf file found in C:\Program Files\INPROCOMM\Wireless\Driver or on the included CD's and the ACPI problem can be sorted out by following the instructions on this site:

Just another update regarding the ACPI. Toshiba recently released a BIOS update (to version 2.80) that fixes the ACPI problem so it know works, no more need to patch the kernel. Also, if you're not feeling brave enough to flash the BIOS or patch the kernel, <i>somehow</i> ubuntu 6.06 works out of the box with the ACPI and also the FN keys..<br>
