\_ I would say beware of ACPI. While newer distros will detect and 
\_ configure for ACPI on the install, many older distros won't, and you can 
\_ look forward to a kernel recompile to get it working. Also, some 
\_ manufacturers have done a poor job of adhering to standards with ACPI, 
\_ which means that ACPI will not be fully functional under Linux.

OTOH, some of that has been worked around, ala 

[ ] Toshiba Laptop Extension 

(or similar verbiage) In the kernel config which enables all sorts of
goodness for said laptops.
