Have used both the E and M series (about a year ago - don't know what
their doing now), and both work swell. I had a few problem with XFree on
the M Series (have no idea why - they feature the same chips as the E),
but except from that they're great. the Es ate Mandrake, RedHat, Turbo
Linux and SuSE out of the box, with all the bells and whistles, including
great pcmcia and usb support - heard about plug n' play? I've never seen
anything perform hot plug as good as these babies do - you can actually
change the floppy drive bay (battery, floppy or cd) while the power is
on.
(I was never on Compaq's pay roll, I swear :-)
