In case anyone wants to try running it, I have Xubuntu 7.10 running very well on a T21 with ACPI working. (512MB RAM, 1GHz CPU). The only workaround needed was to add;

Option "BusType" "PCI"

to the "Device" section in xorg.conf as described in this bug report. -

If you're going wireless, get an Atheros based PCMCIA card, as they generally work out of the box on Linux. I got an SMC SMCWCBT-G which works very well.

How is the speed?

Also thanks for wireless link.
That's pretty cheap.

doog, the speed is good to excellent, much faster than XP on the same machine. Today I found a second bug, that is coming out of sleep, the SMC card does not negociate with the DHCP server (my router) by itself and obtain an IP address. I am looking into that problem, but hey ... it's always something with Linux .
