I guess ignorance is bliss. I've been using my 602TER with few problems
for a month now. As far as I know, the 602 just has faster processor
than the 600. I am running 4_stable. I did have to get the OSS sound
driver. I spent some time trying to port the Linux Synaptics pad config
utility with no luck. Probably someone who actually knew what he was
doing would be more successful. Rob.
