I have a Sony VAIO F350 I bought in december. Compatbility wise it's been pretty good, I have 3.3 on it with PAO (http://www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO/) which supports my Linksys PCMCIA NIC quite well. The neomagic chipset on it is supported by xfree and works just fine at 1024x768. I would reccommend this laptop highly if the hard drive hadn't failed two days ago :-) Other than that 'minor' detail I would say I'm completely satisfied with it.
