small mention of Arch Linux in Osnews article
http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=8780
"I also took the liberty of installing other distros on the laptop, just to see how it would behave in a non-patched environment. Unfortunately, Ubuntu wouldn't work..... Arch Linux 0.7pre+, on the other hand, worked perfectly and installed fine. Its recent XOrg selected the right resolution selected automatically, and 3D worked too with the games I tried: lthough the commercial demo of "Dark-Horizons: Lore" was not running at full speed, while simpler GL games, like GLTron, Neverball etc, ran fast enough. Running in the native 1400x1050 resolution with XOrg's r200 3D drivers (not ATi drivers), GLXGears did up to 1594 fps at 24bit color in X11, and 2212 fps while in 16bit. Sound and onboard networking also worked fine with no extra drivers needed (and slmodem and synaptics packages are part of /extra of Arch's tree anyway, so installing them was a piece of cake)."
Im really tempted to get one of those laptops
