Anyone here have any suggestions regarding desktop replacement Laptops that have very good hardware support on Linux?
FWIW I have a compaq presario 2132. I wouldn't say it has good hardware support but I got it working. Mandrake 9.2 installed and ran on it reasonably smoothly out of the box, except for having to disable pcmcia. I had to build the dri graphics driver from cvs to get 3d accel and a custom kernel to get the power management stuff going. It has a connexant modem that I believe I could get going if I needed but haven't bothered since I don't need it. g -- Glenn Ramsey <glenn(a)componic.co.nz> 07 8627077 http://www.componic.co.nz
