Given recent versions (ObReference: I normally run Unstable on my laptops) of Debian I've had no problems with either my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 or my Sony Vaio PCG-C1MWP... I should note that I say "no problems" but it really means nothing that has been a show stopper... Neither can use the internal modem, and the Vaio is unable to make use of the internal webcam at this time... BUt they both function properly and I work off them daily... Regards, Jeremy T.
