i've been using this acer for a while now and it is pretty good.
How much did you buy it for?
I have a Wipro LittleGenius CP 15, which has got almost the same
features. Cost me 66k in India. This was in Aug 2004.
--------------------------------------------
Features that worked "out of the box" (not even lspci/modprobe stuff)
with ubuntu warty.
ipw2100, cpufreq, AC'97 sound, 855GM graphics, synaptic touchpad
--------------------------------------------
Things I had to fiddle with to get it to work:
National Semiconductor based irda controller (nsc-ircc)
--------------------------------------------
Things I have not tested: firewire port
--------------------------------------------
Took me less than an hour to get the whole setup working. When I had
gentoo, I had to emerge packages and play with the ipw2100
firmware/driver a bit and I had to configure irda manually then too.
I'm satisfied with this laptop.
