And the first attempt be on a system you don't mind trashing. And always keep in mind: Linux is NOT Windows. So never assume that the way you did it on Windows will work on Linux.

Re: question from total newbie. a little help please
I think the o.p. may have got debian linux confused with debian lynx that makes more sense over here. Many Linux distros have code words for each major version of their distributions. The current stable code word for debian is bullseye. I've been installing debian since sarge and remember no lynx code word attached to any debian version.

Did you mean Debian bullseye, which is the current stable version? Bullseye should not have a problem with this laptop. If you need to install via wifi rather than wired ethernet, you should start with the non-free firmware installer: https://cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/ -dsr-

You are planning on creating a 'multiboot' with Debian and Windows! The best thing that I can suggest is to Google 'multiboot Bullseye and Windows10'. i know about enough to fill a thimble but i'm hopeful and any guidance would be greatly appreciated and i would follow it to the T's With W10 you have also the possibility of using 'WLS' an order alternative would be to install Debian as a VM. If you choose to go the VM way Virtualbox and Qemu are working fine on Windows. I would say that 'WLS' and 'VB/Qemu' are less prone to crashing your laptop. -- John Doe

Yes, please do us a favor and disable HTML-messages. I'm like Jeff, HTML-mails go directly into the spam folder unless the sender is whitelisted. On topic: All current VIA-mainboards (except for the Athlon64 ones) are pretty well supported so you may wanna get one of those. Same with nForce3 mainboards, however you'll need the nVidia drivers for them to run at full speed.

I appreciate your help and thanks for your time. You probably only need to hit the "send" button once (seven copies of the message ended up on the list). As far as motherboards go, I believe that Via chipsets are the best supported under any flavor of Linux. Though, I have an nForce2 motherboard that is pretty nice, but it has onboard ethernet for which there is only binary drivers available (meaning that I have to get them from nVidia and install them into the kernel, which just an extra step of hassle). I would definitely not recommend an nForce board for a Linux newbie. Depending on what you will use the machine for, you need to decide on whether you want onboard network/sound/video/whetever. The more stuff you get offboard, the more choice you have. If you just don't care and want a machine that will let you surf the web, check email, and use a word processor, then the cheapest motherboard you can find with onboard everything should do you fine. -Roberto pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
