Hi again guys, I know there are many different models of M700s in terms of cpu, but besides that the chipsets should be the same. So anyone who has one, or knows someone who has one who could pass on an email or my address, ANY info appreciated. Even the person who already replied about putting ubuntu on one, please reply again and give more details, like did sound work, etc. Or maybe I remember you saying no problems. Hmm. Either way, whatever you know, I would love to know. nick -- ------------------------------ nick thompson all unix all the time. looking for unix job in the mpls/st. paul, well within an hour area. :) ------------------------------
