I realize this is a late response: I've been OOT for a while.... Anyway, I bought a Gateway 450 XL and have been using it fairly successfully with Mandrake 9.1. Just about everything works, except I've never been able to get either ACPI or APM to do standby or software suspend successfully. I went out of my way to get an Orinoco card, because they were supposed to be compatible. D'oh! That was last generation. For this generation you need to install MadWifi yourself... Other than that, all seems well.
