\_ 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.
