I just bought a Gateway NX-860X and I'm running Debian 4.0 on it now. Some notes worth reporting:
The Debian pre-4.0 release had problems seeing the SATA drive. The Debian 4.0 release on DVD (from CheapBytes.com) is corrupted. I went with the net-install and everything was fine. The wireless card (IPW3945) was a pain to get running. Once I broke the code as it were, networking was fine. HP 6980 InkJet printer runs well. Via Samba, I also connect to a HP LaserJet 1320. Also runs fine. The machine does just what I want---it is loaded with Mathematica, Matlab, and Maple, all of which installed without a hitch. Anyone with this machine is welcome to drop me a line if he/she has any problems with the Debian install/configuration.
