Linux on the Sony Vaio PCG-U101

Japanese-language U101 info:

Western-hemisphere importers:

Dynamism
Dynamism's been importing and converting cool Japanese subnotebooks for years — they're the big name in this business. And, they're where I decided to order my system from. The experience was not as stellar as I'd hoped; more on buying from Dynamism here. Note: since I bought mine, their price is up $200 and the extra RAM up $160.
Japan Rush
Newer, and seem very excited. But they don't update their web page very often and generally were slower than Dynamism at answering my questions. They do offer free shipping, but Dynamism matched that when I asked.
Conics.net
Much cheaper, because they don't do any English conversion. Also, they don't do any special value-added warranty service, unlike Dynamism or Japan Rush. Still, installing Linux is pretty easy — as is installing English WinXP, for that matter. This might be my recommendation for anyone who is planning to use the U101 with Linux… please let me know if you have any experience with them.
Himeya Techgear
Mainly sells anime and Japanese games; have recently branched out into selling gadgets, too. I'm a bit skeptical about their tech knowledge — they say their ordering process doesn't work with Netscape or Mozilla, for example. And their specs page says that the system has "64MB/512MB" of cache — sure, it's a typo, but it's the kind of typo that should be caught and fixed very quickly.
I-Cube
Mentioned for completeness. Their site design is annoying, and worse, they made up a false "MSRP" in US dollars and then have an "Our Price" which is of course much cheaper. Seems a bit sleazy.
Pyramid Consultants (UK/EC)
Looks okay. Does minimal language conversion, and provides loan machines in the case of warranty service. Quite expensive, though. And didn't respond to my e-mail.

Older U-series Models:

Kondara Linux 2.1 on the Sony Vaio U1
Good English-language site with medium-detailed hardware info and instructions for installing the no-longer-available Kondara Linux distro. Still useful, though, as most of the information is generally applicable. Also has some good tips plus scripts and software.
browncat.org Vaio U1 Linux [babelfish]
Japanese site from which the one above got much of its information.
Linux & PCG-U1 (and U3)
Less detailed, but has some potentially useful notes.

General Linux-on-Vaio sites:

Linux on Laptops: Sony
If you're interested in running Linux on a laptop, you probably know about this site already. It's a very specific web directory, listing links to pages like this one.
TuxMobil's Sony Page
A generally useful mobile Linux site, including the document formerly known as the Linux Laptop HOWTO.
Linux-Sony Wiki
Vaios have a lot of weirdness-in-common, like the sonypi control device, for example. So a community documentation site is a good idea. This one isn't as packed full of information as it might be, but since it's publically editable, with a little effort from someone, it could be.
Linux-Sony Mailing List
The mailing list run by the same site is packed full of information, and knowledgeable and helpful users. Much recommended.
Steve Barr's PictureBook page
A great site with detailed information on another Sony subnotebook. The news section often has info on other small Vaio models too.
Sony Programmable I/O Control Device Driver
I've linked to this elsewhere on the site, but it bears repeating. If you've got a Sony laptop running Linux, you want this software.

Everything else:

I'm sure there's some very good and relevant sites which I've missed. Please e-mail me anything that would be appropriate to add. And yeah, please don't e-mail me anything that wouldn't be appropriate, thanks.
