Yes, but at least they released enough specs for 2d stuff to work.  I 
tried installing linux a few months ago, but this is a 12" powerbook 
with a nVidia card.  nVidia doesn't release any specs, so the kernel 
hackers don't know how to wake up this card after it's been put to 
sleep.  As a result, I can't do suspend-to-ram.  I don't card about the 
lack of 3d acceleration, but I _do_ require suspend-to-ram.
