CentOS 4 works good on the box. Uses the ATI Rage Mobility video
chipset (ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]).
Have the "radeon" driver that Anaconda set up running.
The wireless will work with the ipw2200 drivers and firmware
(http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/). Otherwise I suppose you could use
ndiswrapper.
Only thing I haven't got working well is suspend.
You might look at http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki for some other
ideas and info.
