Video is VIA/S3 Unichrome, which should have at least basic support on
any current distribution.  Full hardware MPEG decoding support and
direct rendering support should be working into the various
distributions soon, but in the mean time you can install the necessary
bits yourself.

I don't know what wireless chipset is in the thing, but everything
else should Just Work.  I do have to admit that I've only booted
Knoppix up for a minute...  I'll try to take a closer look as soon as
I can though.
