Hello, I just bought a used Gateway Solo5300 laptop and want to install
Debain for my work. However, this laptop comes with minimum
documentation. What I know is it's PIII600, 96mb RAM and 6GB HD. The
screen is 12" and 800x600. Anyone has similar setup and with successful
Debian installation?

Hi folks, I'm finally thinking about getting a laptop, and I thought
I'd ask your opinion...
For no real motive other than the fact that they came to my attention

I have a couple of compaq armadas that had the
original bios partition. In fact, the dignostic
partition is not needed at all. I totally formatted

and then installed windows followed by Linux.

trouble with the Compaq partition. Since I didn't want to risk screwing
up th
