Tips for Ubuntu and Debian

32-bit or 64-bit?
64-bit has compatible 32-bit libraries (see below) and allows you to use all 4GB of RAM.

RAID 0 or 1
Debian: At the boot screen for the installer, hit TAB to edit the boot parameters, type a space and dmraid=true and hit Enter/Return.

Ubuntu: RAID 0/1 requires the Alternate Installer (more info). At the boot screen for the alternate installer, hit F6 and then ESC to edit the boot parameters. Then type a space and dmraid=true and hit Enter/Return.

Swap space
I use 2GB for swap, but 1GB or 4GB would be fine. Swap is hardly ever needed when you have 4GB of RAM.

32-bit compatibility
Installing the ia32-libs package will allow you to compile and run 32-bit applications.

How to install 32-bit .debs
Use the --force-architecture option for dpkg:
Code:
dpkg --force-architecture -i example.deb
Flash plugin for Firefox on Ubuntu/Iceweasel on Debian
Install the flashplugin-nonfree package. Debian users must have the non-free repository added to /etc/apt/sources.list

Firmware upgrade for DVD-RW drives (not Blu-ray)
The stock firmware (revision RR04) can be affected by a bug. There is updated unofficial firmware that resolves the issue.

Freezes with Ubuntu while using Wi-Fi
If you encounter this problem see this post.

CPU Overclocking
lfsb was a tool sort of like SetFSB, but it doesn't support newer chipsets.

GPU Overclocking
NVClock

Kernel config
If you want to compile a custom kernel, here's my config which can be used as a starting place (copy to .config in the source directory and make oldconfig):

G51: backslash key fix
G51 Linux backslash/pipe key remapping by linuxguy:

The following procedure is for OpenSuse 11.1. It may/may not work for other Linux distributions.

The G51 has a key that the default Suse setup incorrectly interprets. The key is the backslash/pipe key. It interprets it as "<" and ">". To get around this you need to edit the keyboard map file for the raw (console) mode and make a local "fix" file for Xorg mode. This procedure will last through all runlevels, which is a good thing. You must be root to do the console mode fix.

Editing the keyboard map for console mode:
Look in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard. Search for KEYTABLE in the file. This will tell you the default keyboard map file it's using. Make a note of it. In my case it is us.map.gz. Now, cd /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty. gunzip us.map.gz. Using your favorite editor, edit the us.map file and search for 86. This is the keycode that we want to change. Change the line so that it reads like this:

keycode 86 = backslash bar

Save the file.
Recompress it: gzip us.map
Done with raw mode.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixing the key for Xorg mode:
su to yourself, not root. You must be in your own home directory for this fix, so type in cd .

With your favorite editor create a file called .Xmodmap - It must have the dot before the filename and it must be spelled exactly as shown. Add the following line:

keycode 94 = backslash bar

Save the file.

In order to make both changes effective, reboot. Your "|/" key should now function as normal.
Controlling the lights
Unfortunately there is currently no way to control the lights with software (you can physically unplug them). There is a way for the ASUS G1 series to turn off their lights, see asus_laptop.c in the kernel.

G51J and G51Jx
Just got a G51J-A1 -- compiled my kernel in 13 mins and change (typing CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=8 makes me lulz). I can do 6 tracks in Ardour with around 4.5ms of latency using FFADO. So I can essentially confirm that this is probably one of the best machines you can get for doing pro audio on Linux.

I'll update the guide sometime, but if you want to run Debian, there are some things to know:

You will need a USB ethernet or wlan interface because lenny doesn't support the LAN or WLAN. Or you can download a full installer CD image and do it that way. You'll still need another computer and a USB stick or hard drive to get some stuff onto the machine.

The wireless is Intel 1000 series which you can get the firmware for here (1000 series microcode):
http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads

Extract and copy the .ucode file to /lib/firmware, reload the iwlagn module and the wireless should be all good.

The wired ethernet is Atheros L1C based and uses the atl1c module.

The quirk for the audio is the same as the G50. I did not have to use the pipe key fix, it works fine for me.
