Although they seem reluctant to admit it, Toshiba's
laptops are fairly easy to get working with Linux. I
have installed Debian on a 2515CDS
(http://members.telocity.com/sledge1/2515CDS-HOWTO.html)
and a 435CDS.
Unless I am mistaken, there very few, if any
differences in the kernel from distribution to
distribution. So, if you successfully install one
distribution on a machine, you are very likely to get
another one working (of course, different
distributions come with different configuration tools,
but they all end up doing the same thing).
Where am I going with this? You may want to keep this
in mind as you check out the Linux Laptop site:

Good luck,
Dhruva
