from what specifications I have found on-line it should run fine.
the things that may be trouble is wireless and modem, possibly screen resolution, which can be set at boot (look in the documentation wiki on "cheatcodes").
if you do not need the modem (that may required some fiddling to get going) and are prepared to try I think your wireless should be supported, no guarantees though, but Atheros wireless should work in Linux.
