The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    For those of you that want to try Linux, I recommend you use Ubuntu Linux http://www.ubuntulinux.org/. My 600M worked out of the box, Wireless, suspend to ram, suspend to disk, etc all worked. Only S-VIDEO doesn't but I'm working on that. In case you want to ditch XP

    i would like to put linux on my 700m my first choice is SUSE then Redhat but im not sure if either will run very well on the 700m i have had them both on a desktop and worked fine but i heard it was harder to run linux on a laptop so if anyone has used either of these...i would also be willing to use debian
