This laptop works fine with Ubuntu, Gentoo, Vlos, and Xandros. I was able to get all hardware running on all of the above mentioned distros, except for the built-in wireless card, which is winblows only. The built in card is a Broadcom, and there are no Linux drivers available. I was unable to get ndiswrapper working, but apparently others have been successful. Out of the distros mentioned, Xandros was the easiest to set up, but it uses KDE, which I despise, so I switched to Ubuntu. Slightly more difficult to get everything running, but it worked fine.
