Nokia Booklet 3G Mini Laptop


Hello,

in the next month I'd like to buy a Nokia Booklet 3G Mini Laptop, and I was wondering if any actual Linux distribution is supporting the built-in 3G network modem.

Thank you,

Umberto

http://www.computerworld.com/s/artic...ok?taxonomyId= - gives a not very favourable review of this kit. This article http://savago.wordpress.com/2009/11/...onsiderations/ says that the author ran Ubuntu Karmic Koala on it and everything worked out of the box, though some tweaks had to be applied to make it work optimally - make sure you read the comments on the article.

Other articles suggest that Nokia's support for this machine isn't good and if you have issues with it running Linux may make them support it less. However, I do not run one and do not have any personal experience of contacting Nokia for support so YMMV.
