This M6800 using the described Fedora setup is still working just fine. I recently updated it to Fedora 22 with really no new issues at all. It’s a solid workhorse just as it is designed to be.

I have noticed, additionally to the post, that sometimes, for whatever reason, the USB subsystem stops working and I can’t use external mice or keyboards until I wiggle around with suspends and module reloads and maybe a reboot. It’s weird and rare and I don’t really care. I usually don’t use external keyboards or mice anyway. But you might want to keep this in mind if you’re considering one.

Any updates?
I’ve had one *HECK* of a struggle getting my M6800 going as a triple-booted sys (W8.1 as supplied, F20, U1404). I guess I should blog it somewhere. Some of the bugs are real show-stoppers with no acceptable work-around. F20, when running Gnome, goes into an ‘inescapably trapped in screensaver’ state instead of a normal screensaver that you can escape from. The only fix is power cycle. I couldn’t get Centos65 to install at all, altho I gave up after a lot less effort than that which eventually prevailed on Fedora and Ubuntu. Also, the latest update to Ubuntu seems to have broken the wifi. The Live-CDs worked fine – it’s the on-disk fully installed and updated situation that manifests. It’s as if the OS goes “numb” to events, maybe interrupts not being caught right.

celeron55, appreciate your post. I’m considering the M6800, and putting Linux on it. Your post is helpful.
