This laptop was bought at walmart.  Comes with Vista 64 bit that crashed at least 7 times before I got SP2 installed, hasn't crashed since then. 

I shrunk down my 500gb hard drive and set it up for triple boot with Sabayon 64 - 4.2 and Backtrack Beta

Everything on this works just fine with Linux including the webcam after modprobing uvcvideo (tested with kopete)


Not really any sense in doing a long article, should work with any newer distribution.

Buy it at walmarts for $898 - see full specs here:

I will update www.edwiget.name with a full and longer article in the next few weeks.
