Remember not to top-post.
If I were buying that laptop, I would be concerned about the success I'd
have with the Radeon 7500 video card. I have a system running Fedora
with an ATI Radeon 7200, and the drivers from Livna for ATI cards did
not work, although I didn't do any playing to see if I could get it to.
The last time I looked for Linux drivers from the ATI site, neither the
7200 nor the 7500 were supported. I'm somewhat new to Linux though; I
wouldn't expect it to "simply work".
