Hi,

For my experience (running an R50 but reading the mailing list ;-) ),
you won't have any problems using Debian/Testing. You will be able to
run both APM and ACPI but the APM support is better and more stable
(easy suspend-to-disk for example).=20

I have a Pentium M too, running great on my Debian/Unstable. Same for
the SoundMAX chipset.
