Re: About laptop and debian

you should take the i386 flavor of Debian. I recomend you to use Sarge 
becouse it is newer.
Check the following pages. They are not for exactly your computer but 
the solutions described there can help you when you run into trouble

You can also try some LiveCD as Knoppix or Ubuntu, and check which 
hardware did it detect. This can help you later in installing Debian. If 
it works you can also install LiveCD to hard disk.
