Greetings! My Compaq Armada m300 notebook (with docking station) is currently running Mandrake 8.1 and W2K. I'd like to install woody in a free 2GB partition and, eventually, wipe both other OSs from the system if the installation is successful.
I googled through the mailing list and the m300 is often mentioned as a solid machine for running Debian. However, as this is my first time with Debian so I'd like to look first before I leap! In particular: * Which 2.4.* kernel runs well? * Does the installer correctly recognise the ethernet card? * ... graphics chipset? * ... sound card? * Do the ltmodem packages work well with the machine's winmodem? * Does apm suspend work (memory left powered)? * What about hibernation (memory saved to disc and then left unpowered)? * ACPI? * Does hot-swapping or cold-swapping of the docking station work? Any advice or reports of success would be gratefully received. Many thanks, James Leifer, INRIA Rocquencourt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
