testing/unstable amd64 on a full Intel SL500 (and that's not even a real=20
ThinkPad). All but the 4 hardware buttons (blue + volume) works out of the=

Unlike Adrian I'd suggest to go for amd64 Debian version instead of i386. I=

no expert, but I tried testing i386 and probably due to the lack of=20
optimization it's noticable slower then amd64 I have now. Of course 32 bit=

version is still miles ahead when it comes to compatibility so YMMV. *Ubunt=

uses i586 optimization (I think), so the difference is smaller. If I used i=

I'd still pick 32 bit version.=20
