I am using one with Debian (unstable branch) as I type. I'll take it to
the keysigning party so that you can see how things work, or don't.

Basically everything works, except for the modem.

Nothing worked out of the box though, besides booting. I had to download
things, write config files, compile Benh's kernel tree, etc. Which is
fine with me. I'd do it in Intel machines anyway, because I like my
things the way I like them. :)
