    I want to put ubuntu on my VGN-sz670N.
    Is this possible, I was told it was not about 5 months ago.
    Has a driver been developed for this model yet?
    Please help and if you know of a developer or place where I can get what I need, Please link me, thanks

    All essential functions should work except for your video; I don't know how the SZ's unusual video system will play with Ubuntu. It'll work, but will you be able to switch between Speed and Stamina mode?

    It is a set model, in other words I did not custom build it so my specs are the same as all other vgn-sz670N.

    I am trying to find a list of specs but have not found a good one. I will post one if i find it.
    Thanks
