Nick,
I've installed Linux on my Toshiba with only several
small issues. It turns out
that many people had the same problems and most are
easily solved. Here are a
couple of places to look for more information[1].

[1] Though most of the information is about the
Portege, the suggestions worked
for my Satellite too.

Hello all.
I recently was tasked to install Linux on a Toshiba
Satellite laptop. So
far I have not been able to get Linux installed since
the cd-rom does not
recognize the Linux boot sector. I have found this to
be true also to some
degree with the a-drive. When I do get it to boot,
there is a problem with the
video, just going blank.
Has anyone here installed Linux on a Toshiba? Any
good hints? Also, if
there has been success... which distribution? I have
been to slashdot, and
freshmeat, and have not seen that much said, nor the
Toshiba website. Anyone
know of any other good resources?
Nick
