Hi Mixi,
There are a lot of information about Sony laptops and Linux on the
following two pages. Actually your chosen laptop is not there, but I am
sure there are notebooks, that share a similar hardware setup, at least
similarities.
http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/sony.html
http://tuxmobil.org/sony.html
My Sony is also listed on both, a PCG-C1VRX/K, which might be not very
similar, but worth checking, just for giggles. I think you may find
information, that might help you to go further. You need to make sure
the Wireless Card is supported, and that may be in any other Sonys as
well, as far as ACPI goes, that is different with any machines. I had
many laptops, but sooner or later I could make them Suspend to Ram and
Disk all of them.
THat is all I can help you, I hope there are some smarter replies as
well.
