System Specs

Processor:

Intel Pentium M 1Ghz or 1.2GHz

Graphics:

Trident XP3m32

Memory:

256MB

up to 1GB can be added (SODIMM PC133)

Hard-Disk:

1.8" 40GB - very slow!

Optical:

NONE, and it does not boot from USB

Tests

Ubuntu 10.04 works reasonably well, with either the vesa or the trident X.org driver The installation can be a bit tricky because booting from USB is not supported (the same is true for Windows).

I could not get 10.10 to work - the screen stays dark.

The best hardware update is more memory, followed by using a CF card as a SSD. The CF card is very slow in the PC-Card slot, but works reasonably well in the hard disk bay (you will need an adapter, because the connector fits, but is subtly different).
