Thanks.  I use gnome and would make little use of the touch screen
capability if it were available.  As a result I decided against it for
this purchase since it appears the admin overhead would exceed the very
modest use I would make of it.  Hopefully in 3 years, when I buy my next
laptop it will be well supported and "just works" in gnome.

thanks again,
