I purchased a Sager 8886 from discountlaptops and have Debian/testing
running on it. I used the bf2.4 to install things. I didn't have any
problems getting it running. The only thing that I don't have working
is the Wifi card that came with the machine DWL 650+ and the modem. I
am a mac guy, but I needed a fast machine for all the compiling I do
for work. The only downside is the laptop is quite heavy.
