Hi Antonio,
My girlfriend just installed debian etch in her Acer Aspire 3503. We tested
it with knoppix first and everything worked, then used Sarge netinst cd to
put in Debian and then immediately changed the sources.list from stable to
testing and updated/upgraded. It's been working flawlessly ever since:
network, sound, montor, cd/dvd/burning. No problems at all and the laptop
came to 800?.
Personally, I've always enjoyed Acer's laptops, even when they're disguised
as IBM Thinkpads.
Cheers,
Jonathan
