I have installed 9.1 in two computers (one of them a laptop) and the experience has been the best I have ever had.
A) Pentium III 800, 256Mb Ram, Nvidia Geforce4 Ti4200, Avermedia Tv, dvd, cdrw, scanner epson Perfection 1200U (usb), printer epson stylus 760 (usb), printer hp laserjet 4L parallel, creative 128b sound card, cable-modem 128 kb/s, Logitech wireless mouse. Ip masquering to conect the laptop (eth0 and eth1 presents). Results: everythin instaled (even the scanner). Applications runing faster than under 9.0. Fonts fantastic!, OpenOffice looks great with antialising even on the menu text! B) Toshiba Satellite 4090XCDT, 191Mb Ram, Cyber 9525 video card, sound card maestro 2, eth0 pcmcia. Results: everything installed but not the included windomed (detected but, of course, not module). Video card well installed, but screen as one Toshiba p&p and not full screen avalaible (changed by one generic SVGA and full screen now runing ant 1024x728 16bpi). Internet installed, cups remote printers accesible. Great the video driver, for the first time in this laptop I can play Clanbomber without givin a white screen, moreover: I can run xine and watch video cds and avi films without problems (this never happened before!, thanks XFree86 4.3!!!!! :-)). Fonts wonderfulls! great appareance under gnome and under kde. More applications run faster than under 9.0. Just acpi I don't know if it is possible activate in this laptop; also I had some problems with supermount after a bad lecture of a cdrw, but after restart I haven't had any problem. Conclusions: How could I wait until today to install 9.1 in the laptop?; I have several classes to give using the laptop and presentations wit OpenOffice and I was afraid about the results, so this afternoon, after finishing my last clase, I started the installation. Is, without doubt, the best linux distributions avalaible!! Note for windows user: every time a new windows release appears, you need a best computer to run it; every time a Mandrake release appears, your old computer run faster and better; I was thinking about a new laptop to watch vcd and avi movies, but now I don't need a new one. Belive me, install 9.1, it worth :-) -- Francisco Alcaraz Ariza Murcia, Espaņa (Spain)
