My satellite pro 6000 works fantastically with 5-current. In the past few months, someone fixed the ohci code to work properly, and either someone fixed the t4dwave driver or the new system board I had put in (warranty issue) upgraded some chips and they now work. I'm guessing the Yamaha chipset (IIRC that's what it has) is well supported. The geforce4 chip is supported by X and the nvidia drivers will probably work fine. You'll want to run 5.0 for cardbus support. The only piece of hardware that probably won't work is the modem. But who needs modems any more, and you can always pick up a pccard modem that works. I have a Xircom type3 that works fine for traveling. -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus! Copy me into your ~/.signature to help me spread!
