vaios

Hi everyone .. .. I remember some talk (somewhere) about SuSE 8.1 having better support for Sony Vaios. Has anybody tried putting 8.1 onto a recent Vaio? I'm particularly interested in how the ACPI performs .. I recently heard from someone who owns the same laptop as me, and his machine has died after installing Redhat 8 - almost certainly due to ACPI not being present or not working. sjb
