Back in April, I was contemplating installing linux on my Toshiba laptop and kept reading about how difficult it might be. I had never installed linux on anything at that point, yet COL 2.2 installed with ease. Recognized everything. I had to fiddle just a bit with sound, but everything else (`cept the winmodem) worked right out of the box (I now connect via an external USR modem :o)). Try it. Bet you'll be pleasantly surprised!
