Have you tried Ubuntu on it yet? Apart from a few networking issues it was pretty nice but I had to go back.
A few of the support guys run Ubuntu. It is nice, but I don't like it. I have had zero network issues with Mandriva (wireless, Eth, 3G) except that the internal 3G card won't play nice.

On the AAO? I'll have to have a look then.

Nah on a lenovo t61 with the sierra mini card. It's a MC8775 if I remember correctly. I used the sierra 1.06 driver but she won't play nice.

Ubuntu Studio

Can anyone point me to a local download for Ubuntu Studio please?
And if the distro is called something else, what is it? Intrepid Ibex?
Thanks

Chucked Opensuse 11.1 out the window and installed Mandriva 2009.0 on this box
Awesome. Like it more than Suse. No hassles with packman repos to get mp3s to work or dvds to play...

Fast becoming me favorite distro. Soon as I feel comfortable enough with it going to install it on my other Ubuntu and Suse boxen as well

Once you get used to the Gentoo way of things, you will never be satisfied with other distros, EVER!
:p
