One note...I'm currently using F12 on an Acer Aspire 5100...the only thing
that doesn't work as I'd like is the audio subsystem...specifically, the
microphone input.  When I attempt to record anything, I can hear myself,
but the recording software doesn't actually record anything.

Hopefully, F13 on the hardware you note, above, has better support.
