See if you can find what others have written about getting it up and running; if you're lucky, you'll see several distros, and be able to compare, or somebody will have written a comparison of several. From what I've been able to see, Kanotix has been a favorite for a number of laptops with similar configurations. It's a livecd, so you'll be able to test it out without installing -- which will give you a good idea if your hardware will work with it. Then, install away! (Me? I run gentoo.) > Thanks for the responses i've already received! > > > On Mon, 7 Feb 2005 16:31:46 -0700, Chad Leigh -- Shire.
