I have a 720CA. I'm running RH7.3 on it at present. I first tried Gentoo
on it but had problems with Gnome2 so I switched to RedHat since it's
part of a contract and that's what they are standarzing on.

there are some good links about the Presario 700 series on the Linux on
Laptops site: http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/compaq.html

Some of the links have Debian installs.
