(Get the code!)
I hope I could use my R100 notebook with newer Ubuntu releases, but as betzi said there are more and more bugs and failures that don't allow to use it normally with this Linux distro.
The last Ubuntu release was around version 7 or early 8 that could use most of this notebook's features (mainly ACPI functions, hotkeys, standby and hibernating). A 1GHz Pentium M CPU and a 32MB Trident VGA aren't so powerful, but are enough for internet browsing, mailing, photo editing and viewing, HTML coding... and has long (~6 hours) battery life, like those new netbooks. I've upgraded it with a 1,8" 80GB HDD, draft n mini-PCI wifi, and +1GB DDR RAM... so I love it, and I'd like to use it as long as possible. I would prefer freedom, so I prefer linux. Now I have to use Windows to get full compatibility... :(
If there are some hope to fix incompatibility problems with this R100 and other older Toshiba models, let us know...
