I am using Roverbook Nautilus B570 (www.roverbook.com), which is a 
Russian-made Centrino box. Processor is Pentium M 1300, RAM 512.

My video driver is ATI Mobility 9, it works perfectly in Fedora in 1400 
x 1050 resolution, the resolution of my 15" screen. Modem (winmodem!) 
has driver from SMLink.com. Sound card was detected correctly. USB 2.0 
ports work with my external hard drive.

I run Windows XP Home (sold with the laptop) doing some Delphi 
programming. And I am using/learning Linux.

Our church is moving totally to Linux for desktop work and intranet 
within the office. We're going to have WiFi. I don't have a WiFi card, 
even though my laptop has a slot for built-in card (I saved some money 
buying a WiFi-less box). But I will report my progress later.

I am so glad that Fedora is working smoothly on my laptop. I am waiting 
for Linux to learn how to suspend to hard disk like Windows XP does when 
I close the laptop.

Timothy.
