Hi all,

Here is the summary of information I've compiled from the forums so far. If
people still have issues using Linux,
feel free to reply to the list:

Some users of this laptop seem to be having troubles getting all sound
features to work. In several cases, these problems seem to have been solved
by using Ubuntu 9.04 (sometimes 8.10). Some other reports on ways to solving
them here:
