Dell D620 pc-speaker

If you use this laptop, you probably wonder how to stop the freaking thing - look a bit further for more info:

Windows - Turn Off the PC-Speaker (Annoyances.org) Here you can read how it was a bug in the motherboard :) ... I'd recommend the power-toy solution.

Gentoo Linux - Turn Off the PC-Speaker (Gentoo-wiki) or just "modprobe -r pcspkr" :)

Sabayon

Finally desktop linux is a reality :) Looks better than Vista (esp. with accelerated desktop) , the miniEdition installs in half an hour, default kde install has almost everything out of the box (maybe katapult should be added). KNetworkManager makes wired/wireless setup a breeze and most importantly - it's a Gentoo :)

some notes though:
if you need Open Office, check '/etc/make.conf' (you should anyway), unless you want support for all those languages :)
