Believe or not, but it seems this will be very short blog! I expected definitely more work to run Linux on the notebook that was released recently, however it seems that almost everything works out of the box! Please see the page I prepared to check the status of components. If you have different experiences please let me know -- I'll update the page accordingly. Also your suggestions for more tests are welcome.
Now let me enjoy my so smoothly working N550 notebook with Linux on top of it! :-)
