The only things that I have some doubt is the wireless support. There may be also a need to go with ACPI (some of centrino platform use now a legacy free BIOS). And there may be a need to upgrade XFree (but that is a general though about new video chipsets). A little note, though. A centrino processor do not exist. It is a Pentium-M, aka Banias, and performance states (aka changing frequency/voltage) is supported under Linux. Cheers, -- Ducrot Bruno -- Which is worse: ignorance or apathy? -- Don't know.
