Hi, not sure about the intel platform, especially a new one. If it were myself, I would steer clear for a while, just personal preference. . BUT, the main reason why I wrote was to tell you I have had great luck with both acer and toshiba laptops using 9.3 through 10.3. Everything works fine out of the box except when you have an atheros wireless chipset. This is easily fixed by downloading the madwifi package. If you have any type of computer store with display models available, I would suggest popping in a live cd to test it out before committing yourself. I mess around at circuit city all the time, if they want your hard earned $$, they wont mind. Good luck. - -- powered by OPENSuSE 10.2 athlon i386 GNU/Linux http://reillyblog.com http://norwichlinuxusersgroup.com 8:17pm up 0:33, 1 user, load average: 0.78, 1.15, 1.25 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGZK6JlUTSIL6z5CARAnDpAJ42j2SB5udOCVWvfenF1WVCvyRgsgCeJW7C SyBcYq3oMMFwVqrEQ65uw9g= =QPys -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
