i'm running an Acer 5315-2122 with debian "lenny" at the moment.  it booted
an ubutu and knoppix cd just fine.  previously, I had suse running on it but
switched to lenny, cuz the suse disn't seem to handle the sound card right.
the debian seemed to fix things up just right. I got this one at a
Radio-Shack store with a 2G memory for about $400.
