    I wanna try Linux on my SZ484N. Is there a version of Linux that someone has tried that has all the drivers for the SZ484N?

    and where to download it?

    Can't give you a straight answer specifically for your machine, or Sony's in general, for that matter, but think you should give Ubuntu or a derivative a shot. Usually, everything works well OTB for most people. If something doesn't work quite right, people here or at the Ubuntu forums would most likely be able to help you easily fix an issue. In any case, good luck.

    You're welcome, MaXimus. Post in the Linux forums once you've gotten Ubuntu installed and running and let us know what you think.
