I'm looking for a new notebook, for the one I used untill some days ago is now broken and it costs too much to repair. So I need to find a new one which can run debian on it. I'm interested on a centrino based notebook, for everyone says that I can get a longer autonomy. On the other side I wouldn't give out too much money for a notebook. I've seen two notebook: asus M2410C and acer 291LCi. does anyone of you have got one of these laptop? Are they fully supported by linux? I can ignore the winmodem, I don't need it. And for the network adapter I can use ndiswrapper and wait for te driver that intel is developing. I'd like to know one thing about the built in wifi card: can linux turn it off? I mean, if I don't use the wireless network, can I shut it down so that it doesn't comsume the battery? Thank you. -- Non c'è più forza nella normalità, c'è solo monotonia.
