Hehehe .. nothing *really* urgent here as i've installed that Sony Vaio 
in dual-boot CentOS 5.4/Fedora 13Alpha
Now that the To-Do list on the CentOS side is getting longer and longer 
I consider continuing using F13 for a while and i've still have to fix 
some troubles there, even with a 2.6.33 kernel : no sound
On the CentOS side: no sound, no wired connection, no wifi, no suspend, 
and no good VGA resolution (even the current fglrx from amd.com doesn't 
support the embedded ATI mobility radeon HD 5650) .. :/
I guess that my solution for "yesterday" is to setup VirtualBox and a 
CentOS 5.4 guest inside to have access to the network from the F13Alpha 
install ;-)
