If you mean the "iCue" bookPCs then yes, you can run Linux on them. I believe I got it up
and running with a stock RedHat 6.1 install. The LAN adapter used the dmfe.o network
module and the video chipset is a Trident CyberBlade 3D that is supported in the SVGA 
XFree86 3.3.6 distro. It does have a modem but it is a winmodem that is not supported 
yet under linux if I recall correctly.


hope this helps
