there you go, there is boudn to be people at school that admin those machines or at least know how they installed etc. I still reccomend taking the laptop in to the people there i bet they would help. video drivers is the biggest issue, I am having my co-worker go with the latest SuSe because of the support for Savage4 out-of-the-box. Debian slink probably wouldnt be a good choice for ease of installation on that platform(although it would be fun) mainly because the official distro's XFREE86 is sou outdated. without knowing exactly which ATI chipset you have its hard to know how easy(or if its even possible) to get XFREE86 going on your laptop. Xi Graphics has Laptop Accelerated X which is bound to support the laptop but its also pricey at $199 (or is it $299?) www.xinside.com nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 12:47pm up 107 days, 29 min, 6 users, load average: 1.89, 1.73, 1.69
