Robin, I have an Acer Apsire 1350, running Debian Sid. It has an S3 UniChrome (ViaVT8378) video card, 15"TFT, 10/100 Ethernet, Modem (which I think is working now with new linmodem drivers, must test), Athlon 2600+, 40 gb hdd, DVD/CD-RW(which works a treat), and 512mb ram. (It shipped with 256, but as the video card uses 64mb of system ram, I am glad I bought another 256mb to put in.... A wonderful laptop, all working pretty well (a few issues with Alsa and volume levels staying constant, but have to take some time to fix that, has been low priority..). Compiled a custom 2.6.6 kernel, including drivers for a prism chipset based USB wireless card. Mostly I use my senao PCMCIA though, because of its vastly superior range (esp with wardriving). this site is very useful: http://www.tuxmobile.org/acer.html HTH, feel free to ask any questions, r:) -- Romana Branden ITShare SA Inc/ComputerbankSA http://itshare.org.au/ ITShare SA gives away computer systems created from donated hardware and opensource software.
