I have this exact same laptop. It works perfectly for me with linux. Originally started with a 2.4 kernel and recently went to 2.6.10. The modem works well, the video card works well even with 3D accel. I replaced the original 30gb hdd with a 40gb (for space reasons). The only complaint about this thing I have is the fact they used an nvidia video chip. I have seen more than 4 months uptime on it (I used to use it as a desktop)
I did have a hardware mouse problem, but replacing the touchpad/palm rest fixed that. I'd give it a 4 star (out of five, mainly because of the video chipset and the keyboard layout)
