I've just got a new toshiba a10.  Knoppix works great but the debian 3.0 
install disk had a bit of trouble with the network card and video 
driver.  Network card sorted with an updated kernel (thanks Nick) and 
updated xfree86 should be up and running soon.  Uses the i810 driver. 
No idea how good acceleration is for this.  No idea about the modem. 
Will try it when all else is sorted and nothing else more pressing to 
do.  Got it from http://www.cybershop.net.au/notebook_new.htm  They seem 
to know what they are doing and two other people have recommended them 
to me.
