Hi,

The other thing is that IBM aptiva's (the older ones anyways, not sure
about the new ones) came with either an mwave card or a winmodem and
soundcard.
I'm not sure about the status of the mwave card running under linux,
maybe
someone else can comment. If you have a winmodem you're most likely out
of luck
there too. In either of these cases you would need to get a new modem
and/or
sound card. Also, the proprietary IBM stuff, like fast shortcuts and cd
controls
on the keyboard might not (probably won't) work either. I'm not too sure
though
as I've never tried it. Also the DVD may not work. I'm not sure what the
current
status of DVD drivers for linux are.
Cheers,
Sorry I'm not that helpful.
Sheldon.
