"latest version on this latop," --> Yes it's possible. Debian can "ride" on such machine ;-))) read --> " Linux Laptop pages<http://www.linux-laptop.net/>". Tip for you ;-) Next time read manual " http://www.us.debian.org/releases/etch/installmanual " ;-))) there are all info about this system. there you can find info about System Requirements<http://www.us.debian.org/releases/etch/i386/ch02.html.en>, Supported Hardware <http://www.us.debian.org/releases/etch/i386/ch02s01.html.en>. yes... Compaq Armada 7800 laptop. isnt on the list (you can have problems with sound <-- corr me if im wrong ;-)) but you can read similar faq http://www.smallvue.com/Armada7400.html.<http://www.smallvue.com/Armada7400.html> if you have problems with installing some hardware... search google and if isnt there then write it here ;-)
