Sunny,

Is this the 600E.  I know I had one of these for a while.  I could
never get sound working on it.  There are plenty of websites that talk
about it.  I can find my old bookmarks if you want.  My 600E crashed
on me about 6 months ago and I replaced it.  It was a hardware
problem.  The problem was that the sound card was actually something
different then what it is detected as.  As far as I know, there isn't
a distro out there where you have to fight to get sound to work on
this laptop.  Sorry.
