Lucent modem works under Linux, but I still prefer my cardmodem :-) www.linmodems.org has a binary driver for the lucent modem.

Only Gnome on a 800x600 screen is a bit of a pain. Sorry, I missed the first part of the thread. BTW: Is >here anyone else with the same laptop?

That is true in the sense that hibernation doesn't work when you shrink the partition. I read that others succeeded, but I never bothered myself to get it done. Try http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/ for success stories. I'm running about anything I want to run. If I want to boot Windows I simply run Win4Lin. It's a nice notebook. I like it, especially with those nice looking speakers. Cheerio, Hans --- It's nice to be liked, but better by far to get paid -- Liz Phair
