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: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop Good luck, Dhruva --- "Christopher M.
