I haven't played with it. Jay Beale has it working with ALSA under
Mandrake 7.2. See my page for link to his site.

Haven't looked into them, either.

Sorry I'm not much help on these fronts. I bought it as a portable
development platform, so I'm looking at getting JServ, etc. up and
running first. I was having a problem on the Wini-Me side which I'm
now pretty certain was caused by the McAfee 5.13 Antivirus engine
'upgrade.' But it took a lot of time and System Recoveries to confirm.

I was about to buy one of those, then the VN was announced.

I think others are looking first at getting a 2.4 kernel with ACPI
support going to get some more life out of the battery.
