600x is the perfect Linux notebook. The only thing you might have to fiddle 
with a little is the XOrg configuration. Also make sure you boot with ACPI 
and local APIC turned off. Debian found everything but the configuration of 
the video. Once you add the information that it's capable of 1024 x 768, 
you're golden.

Yes, I am an owner. Yes, I am biased.

Take care,
