Laptops are particularly difficult in this regard. For a desktop system you can use expansion cards to replace most built-in hardware that lacks driver support. Sometimes with laptops it's just too much pain to get hardware working properly so you just live with a system that isn't fully functional. Fortunately the hardware requirements for Linux are small enough that you don't need the latest and greatest systems. A cheap refurbished laptop will do well. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
