I have been using R51 for with FreeBSD for about 2 years. It works very well (except suspend to RAM consumes power almost as if the machine was running no matter what I do and the optical drive is crap (I have 4th and it doesn't work again!)). I don't think the current models have much in common anymore so it is probably not much relevant. Michal
