I'm running 5.3-STABLE (amd64) on my R3240CA with several patches found on 
this mailing list.  It's running fine, my only complaint would be that 
wireless doesn't work (even tried with NDIS but WPA won't work... I heard it 
works in -CURRENT)...  Also, sometimes the laptop won't recover from a 
suspend.  A part from that, it really works fine and it is basically a laptop 
copy of my Amd64 3500 box with OO, mplayer and what not. 

Nicolas.
