I have potato running on a PCG-505VE, and it works fine. I installed the kernel from CD (type ide1=0x180,0x386 at boot prompt) and then aptget -> ftp for most of the packages (slink cd). A good page was http://www.911fan.net/vaio (that *might* be a bit off, but it is listed on the linux laptops page). usb floppy is useless, and I never set up suspend. I have a DLink 560 modem/ethernet card as well.
