I have an EMC2 with Ubuntu live cd in front of me, I've tried it on my laptop just to check it out.
Looks cool, should take it down and try it on the X2, probably be a while before I get a console
built for the G0704 with a good PC.
Played with many versions of Linux years ago but they couldn't even detect my sound cards then,
worked much better this time around.
Definitely be giving it a whirl with the 0704.
