I highly recommend the latest version of kubuntu for x86_64. Everything works except scanning (I have not been able to scan in all recent distros. sarge is the last distro I could get to scan with my HP PSC1210).
Overall things work much better than Debian sarge--which makes sense because sarge is now ancient. (i dont run sid or testing because I want a stable distro). I have had to pull a few things from universe but overall most things worked very well out of the box or after installing an extra package. The nvidia driver is recent and works well. The wireless works with ndiswrapper and almost works with the built in broadcom driver. I tried pulling some extra debs from an external repository for nspluginwrapper and it trashed some stuff so I rebuilt the entire system. (nspluginwrapper allows 32bit plugins to run in 64bit gecko browsers) I had 64bit java on here before and it worked. I had both blackdown and sun so I dont know which one was being used. I think blackdown. I put a little more info at my page for the laptop. https://www.pcxperience.com/WebGUI/index.pl/laptop/r3140us -- JT Mor�e PC Xperience, Inc. _______________________________________________ LinuxR3000 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pcxperience.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxr3000 Wiki at http://prinsig.se/weekee/
