Hi Gerard,
I got an Dell Inspiron 1150 and Debian Sarge running 'out of the box'
(net-install that is). Everything worked, except 'suspend', for which I had to
compile a newer kernel with ACPI patch, after that, suspend to disk *and*
suspend to memory both work; especially suspend to memory is nice, since the
laptop is operational in 2 seconds.
For WiFi, look around for cards that are working under Linux; do not buy
Linksys because they change chipssets in the same product line, and that gave
me some trouble a couple of years ago.
Regards,
Rob de Graaf
Hi,
I've actually an iBook and debian unstable, and an acer aspire. All is
supported. For the wifi, i've choose the dling dwl-g650 which is running
with madwifi. It appear that netgear card are fine supported.
