Yes, have seen a few Acer (Linplus) laptops with AMD64, even at places like eZone. As for the ATI graphics chip, doesn't Nvidia play much better with GNU/Linux and ATI most of the time are troublemakers?

If you don't mind using proprietary drivers, some of which have had unfixed root exploits and put your computer at risk for years, then nV definitely plays better with Linux. On the other hand, if you want to show support for and reward companies who make their card APIs available to the FOSS community to develop drivers with, ATI is the right choice.

[ilugd] Hard luck using TataIndicom USB with Ubuntu
Hi, I am just curious if anyone in list successfully using TataIndicom (USB) wireless with Debian or Ubuntu. I followed the instruction available with the manual.

So far, Android only provides a java-like managed environment to developers which can be a put off for many people because of app size/performance related issues and more importantly, it'll take some time before the complete functionality is available in this environment as compared to the interfaces available to native programmers. -Shantz -- I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, U can't prove anything - Bart Simpson http://blog.shantanugoel.com http://tech.shantanugoel.com ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
