Has anyone successfully installed & used Debian on either this (P-7805u) or the simiilar 7811 Gateway laptops? I'm having trouble finding any success stories on Google ( or this mailing list, or the debian-laptop mailing list, or linux laptops website) for these laptops or any Gateway FX laptops (or even Gateway laptops in general) for any linux distro. The laptop has been out since the middle of last year with the only change coming at the end of last year with a slight downgrade on the screen resolution. Surely someone's tried linux on this laptop in the last 9 months?
If anyone is using this laptop with Debian or any linux flavor, is there a known procedure for updating the bios (if/when necessary) without either booting into Vista or without a Windows partition at all?
