TuxMobil Linux Laptop Survey Exceeded 4,000 Reports TuxMobil has got a burst in Linux laptop and notebook installation report submissions recently. Since February more than 1,000 installation reports have been submitted. Today the number of reports exceeded 4,000. Contributors from all over the world are providing tips and tricks to get Linux and other UniX flavors running on almost any laptop model starting from ELKS Linux on laptops with 286 CPU to 64bit distributions on machines equipped with AMD64. Linux is well suited for todays laptops and notebooks. Only a few hardware parts don't work well because the manufacturers don't care to provide necessary details. Parts which often don't work well are Suspend-to-RAM, internal card readers and internal modems. The laptop survey at TuxMobil is accompanied with Linux hardware compatibility lists about accessories like PC-Cards, IrDA and USB devices, as well as documentation about Linux applications and drivers suitable for mobile computers. http://tuxmobil.org/mylaptops.html -- |=| Werner Heuser = Berliner Str. 122 = D-13187 Berlin = Germany |=| <wehe at tuxmobil.org> T. 0049 - (0)30 - 349 53 86 |=| http://TuxMobil.org UniX on Mobile Systems: HOWTOs,Software |*| This is no time for phony rhetoric -- Lou Reed
