Recently, I bought a Sharp Actius MP30 laptop and installed Linux on it. I installed the default Ubuntu “Hoary Hedgehog” preview release. As far as I can tell, everything except the wireless card works out of the box, though I did have to add i8042.nomux as a kernel option in grub to get the trackpad to work, as suggested by some guy named Carl at Cameltail. He’s managed to get the wireless working under Slackware, but I haven’t yet.
