Kernel (uname -r): 2.6.16
Distribution: Debain Sarge



I installed Debian Sarge on this with no problems. I had to upgrade to a more current kernel in order to get USB support to be stable.

It took a little tweaking to get the graphics driver sorted. X didn't detect my card properly and I had to change the driver in xorg.conf to "radeon".

The sound worked fine once ALSA was configured although it always resets the volume to zero when I reboot. Some (not all) of the hotkeys work using the hotkeys program.

All in all, I was pleasently surprised that it all just worked smoothly.
