Linux powered Acer laptop comes with Linpus as far as I can tell. I see

still contemplate on whether to go with the Windows powered model,
which offers several goodies over the somewhat older Linux ones (like
HDMI, DDR-III RAM, LED display) and hope all would work, or, go "for
sure" on the Linux pre-installed ones. The two options cost very
similar here.</font></p>

Beautifully with one exception. It does NOT work with most video projectors in

Sound works very nicely. Flash specific sites work just fine. I haven't used the
