I have Debian running on a Toshiba Satellite 4000CDT (now superseded I
think). No real problems; it does 800x600 happily in text terminals and
X. However I haven't made a serious attempt to get sound working (don't
need it). I also use an external modem so I haven't done anything about
PMCIA support.
The Toshiba works as my desktop computer most of the time, with an
external keyboard and monitor, but I go abroad for several weeks each
year and it accompanies me as a laptop. Mostly I run it on mains so I
can't say much about battery life.
