-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Luke. I have a Dell Inspiron600M, and I got Slackware-10.0 running on it relatively painlessly. The sound card is an Intel chipset, so it uses the Alsa intel8x0 module. Unfortunately, only the S4 state works in ACPI...The rest of them I haven't gotten to work reliably. And the reason I got this laptop is because it has a serial port! I've lost count of how many times the Dectalk has saved my ass when Flite decided to not work...Until I was successfully able to configure Speech-dispatcher and Speechd_up. For more in-depth installation reports, I'd check out www.tuxmobile.com, and also www.linux-on-laptops.com. Hope this helps.
