Did you have any trouble setting up Xorg on it? I recently attempted to upgrade this machine, an old Pentium 2 box, from 4.10 to 5.3 Beta 6 just to take a look at the new features, but whenever I tried to run startx after Xorg -configure had finished running, the screen would flash then simply go back out to the console with the message "waiting for the X server to shut down." I tried all kinds of things to make it work, but no go. Any ideas what I could be missing, anyone?

I received my new laptop today after my old one finally succumbed to a combination of old age and ancient coffee spills. I installed 5.3-BETA6 on it immediately, no trouble, it knew about the Broadcom NIC out of the box and I did a quick check to learn how to set up ndis so I could use the Dell (actually Broadcom) wireless NIC as well. Built ndis, converted the Windows driver, built if_ndis, installed it, loaded it, configured the interface, ran dhclient and I'm using it as I type this. Took maybe an hour, including burning the driver and /usr/src on a DVD to carry into the living room. I was so impressed that I just had to write and say so. Kudos to you guys. You do good work. After having had to deal with the insides of Linux for the last year, it's a pleasure to use a system that is built with such professionalism.
