I see no reason why F7 wouldn't run on it. I chose the M70 (3 years ago) because it had Nvidia video technology in it. I suppose, from your remarks, that the M90 does too. I run the Closed source nvidia driver and it works flawlessly. One caveat: I needed to use the TwinView features of the driver to use the laptop with a digital projector. I never got the usual "CRT/LCD" button to work. But with Twinview, using a digital projector works well. When I first installed Linux on it 3 years ago neither Hibernate nor Suspend worked. The video driver and/or some other hardware would always lock up on Resume. Suspend (to ram) is still a problem, by pm-hibernate works fine and with modern BIOS and kernels, is fast enough that I don't feel it like I used to with my circa 2000 Dell Inspiron which took 2-3 minutes to hibernate. _That_ would be my one concern with the M90. Hibernate/Suspend is such a tricky hardware-dependent business that I can't make predictions here. If it's important (as it is to me) find out for sure before you buy. I didn't---and I suffered for a year! Dean
