Sorry for dragging up an old thread but what happened with this story? Does anyone use a Gericom laptop for Pd, how is the audio? Can anyone recommend a Gericom? Those prices do look tempting?

hi,
i'm about to buy my very first notebook :) and saw this on media-markt=20 (germany)
http://shop.mediamarkt.de/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?produc= tId=3D16005&catalogId=3D5000&langId=3D-3&storeId=3D5000&categoryId=3D1000= 1
it's a GERICOM Masterpiece 2440
- P4 2,4GHz
- 512MB
- ATI Mobility Radeon 9000, 64MB
- etc...
my only worry is that does linux (i prefer suse) and PD+GEM work on this=20 machine. specially that ATI chip. on my desktop with geforce2mx440 i didn= 't=20 get the 3D drivers from nvidia to work :(...audio ist mir wurst, because = i=20 will buy an usb/firewire audio interface later...
so, if any1 has/heard this machine with linux+pd+gem, let me know... i will be buying it tomorrow, a special sonday here in frankfurt, the sho= ps=20 are open form 13 to 18 :))))
cheers -andre ps. i'm pretty sure that pd+gem will work on windows with this machine, b= ut i=20 WANT linux...
