Thanks, I decided to go with a refurbished Dell 5000e. Much the same
specs but with twice the HD capacity. Seems well supported by SuSE 7.1
(let the contradictory horror stories begin?). And yes I know about the
battery-that-catches-on-fire recall.
I'd still like to know about the FX215 in case this doesn't work out.
It seems like a sweet machine and it's $1299 at Best Buy now.
