There are some laptops with junk chipsets that are only good for running
certain versions of windows, as that's all the effort the manufacturers
have done.

I think that might I have here with a Panasonic CF-29 Toughbook. ;-(

It's running the XP it was 'Designed for' reasonably well and W7
similarly well (on a mobile CPU running at 1.6Ghz with a max of 1.5Gb
of RAM that is) but I can't seem to get any distro (I've tried so far)
to even boot (from a LiveDVD)?
