ACPI Problems

2004-12-26 Thread Ryan D'Baisse
I guess, at this point, I am not entirely sure where to begin. I am looking for guidance with ACPI. I am currently running FC2 with kernel 2.6.5-1.358 and cannot go past it on either FC3 or, apparently, anything else. I have tried updating the kernel on FC2 to 2.6.9-1.6_FC2 and have to disable A

2004-12-25 Thread Ryan D'Baisse
I am looking to move from FC2 to Debian, but have questions... 1. I am still a Linux newbie. Most of the install issues, both with the OS and with applications, have been taken care of for me with the slick install wizard and the RPM-based installations. How much of a learning curve would one be
