I've had my 701 since August, and have run nothing but debian testing on it. At first I had difficulties with the sd card, but those came from the particular way I wanted to mount it. I wanted my /home and swap to be on this disk, and set up /etc/fstab accordingly. It would mount the disk correctly at first, but once it suspended/resumed, it would automatically mount the sd under /media as well, which then caused all sorts of problems. My solution was to let the sd get mounted under /media and provide a link to it for the big directories under my home directory. /home and my $HOME are on the internal drive. Works fine. I think now that my original scheme might now work as well, but there is no reason for me to change it. I also have 1G of swap on the sd card, controlled by /etc/fstab, and it works fine. -- David L.
