    Has anyone installed a version of linux on the SZ that has worked?

    I have tried Mandriva 2006, Fedora Core4 and ubuntu 5.10. I can't get any of them to work and I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the dual graphics - they install and on first boot I get Xserver errors or something to that effect.

    Anyone know of a distro that works?

    Thanks

    have you tried SUSE, or redhat. If none of these work, im pretty sure none will, and yea more than likely is because of the dual graphics.
