twinhead efio 12KTL series - http://www.twinhead.com.my/product_detail.asp?productid=56&type=1
Tip
If you press your reseller hard enough, it comes pre-loaded with Abec Linux, but its old and out of date, and they haven't bothered to support all the laptops hardware. At least they do offer a Linux option though!
Distro's tried:
Zenwalk 2.0 - http://www.zenwalk.org/ - Easy!
Gentoo 2005.1 - http://www.gentoo.org/ - Experts only!
Vector Linux 5.1 - http://www.vectorlinux.com/ - Easy, but Still can't get sound :(
Slackware 10 - http://www.slackware.org/ - Medium
Boot loaders
lilo works, but need to specify LBA=32 in lilo.conf
Can't get grub to work :(

I got the Twinhead E12KT Notebook working under Knoppix 4.0 DVD-version.
Knoppix 4.0.2 DVD didn't work:it hang at position for DHCP backgrouding for eth1-seemingly the WLAN interface. Knoppix 5.0.l CD hang up at udev hardware detection.
At Knoppix 4.0 DVD, sound, graphic (slow 3D),USB 2.0, modem (use Smart Link driver www.smlink.com), WLAN: Ralink Rt2500 chipset: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com worked
addition: the ENE cardbus controller didn't seem to work
