    Hopefully these questions haven't been asked many times, but I didn't see any active threads. I am currently considering a FORCE 16F2-012 / MSI 16F2 from Xotic PC. It would be used 50/50 programming/gaming. I have a few questions and was wondering if anyone had any adivce.

    1) Does anyone know if the model is Linux compatible? I've had some bad experiences in the past with laptops with hardware that didn't behave well with Linux.
    2) How is the keyboard for extended typing sessions? I plan on programming and don't want to rely on an external keyboard.

    Thanks for any info!
