Pretty much everything important seems to be supported (haven't tried FireWire or Xinerama yet though, or the PCMCIA slots, and have no clue about the onboard modem). In March I should know about ACPI support for it in 5.x, but for now I'm running 4-STABLE it works quite well. APM suspend doesn't work properly, however (the machine doesn't come out of suspend mode). Internal NIC, sound card, USB, keyboard, and touchpad all work nice, though. And monitor/video card (there are some issues with 3D acceleration, however). All in all, it works about as well as I expected out of anything.
