Ok, but I have had problems installing basic debian...and went with
the knoppix distro in 2004.
I should have clarified ...this was on my Targa in 2004.
I installed Debian on the 701 without problems. It even installed
through the wireless. Very neat.
are you a debian purist too?
I'm running mine with a fluxbox interface and it is good fun.

There are a number of distributions based on Debian. Some users
might want to take a look at these distributions in addition to the
official Debian releases. This is done for a number of reasons
(better localization support, specific hardware support, simplified
installation, etc).

# Ubuntu
# Xandros
