Toshiba Satellite Pro 4200
I'm considering installing Debian on my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4200, as I
only use it for SSHing to Linux servers anyway, and this means I can do more
work away from the office. Before I take the plunge, however, I need some
information.
I've had a poke around, but have been unable to answer the following
questions. Any help (URLs etc.) would be appreciated. I'm not a *nix newbie,
but installing (especially on a laptop) is not something I'm particularly
familiar with.
1) I've got a "3Com 10/100 LAN PC Card" PCMCIA NIC in my laptop. I can't
find any information about Linux drivers on 3Com's (very poor) website.
Where can I found out whether Linux drivers are available for this product?
2) Ditto for the inbuilt Toshiba 56k modem
3) Sound drivers - the internal soundcard works well under Win98, and I'd
rather like it to continue working under Debian...
4) Dual monitor support - under windoze, I have my mail client / ogg player
on the laptop's LCD, and do the rest of my work on my monitor. How easy is
this to replicate under Linux?
Thanks in advance,
Alex
