The main issue with Debian on your Vaio is that all the time people 
ask on the Debian laptop list " how the ******* ! @ [at]  && *ell do I get 
X-windows to work ".   

This would seem to be the only thing wrong with Debian other than the 
fact that the Irda package maintainer who is in Japan assures me that 
the package is screwed and it's the case that you can't have mobile 
e-mail with your mobile phone.  If you do happen to work out the last 
bit please do let me know.

Great choice of software for a laptop tho'  :)

Thanks
