Yes, and if it does not work for you, we are very interested in fixing it. The boot disk uses Linux kernel 2.6, which is still maturing. One common problem is with ACPI support in Linux, which is under very active development. If the boot disk has trouble with your hardware, try booting with ACPI support disabled. Hold down the Shift key while booting, which will present a boot: prompt.
