Surprising. The trackpad works well enough but when I do gestures the don't always get recognized, which leads to frustration.

Have you had problems with the space bar? I have to press it harder than normal to get it to register.

EDIT: I've been meaning to install linux on it, now I have a real good reason to try it out. What distro are you using?

I'm using Fedora 15 with KDE, which is running wonderfully. I had to upgrade one package to get KDE to play well, but I think that's fixed in Fedora 16 which is current.

I have not had any issues with the space bar--my only problem has been with the left shift key.

I have to add that the only gestures I've actually used are multiple finger scrolling, pressing with multiple fingers and circular scrolling (which is pretty cool). I don't have zooming--it tends to annoy me more often than not, so I don't know if that works well (or at all) on Linux.
