Has anyone had experience with Linux on this hardware?
I'm especially wary about ACPI problems, as my current
laptop Toshiba Satellite L305 series has problems
overheating even with the dual-core processor running at
1GHz which, incidentally, is my only choice of CPU
frequency.
Neither omnibook nor toshiba drivers have helped with this.
I'm aware Dell offers Ubuntu on one flavor of Inspiron 15,
however the processor is T6600 instead of the newer,
more efficient and powerful i5 series.
Regards,
As promised previously, here is the system analysis via
Belarc. I had to do this in XP, I couldn't find a program
to do it in Linux. Com[uter is Dell Inspiron laptop, E1505.
The line about usable hd space is in error. I'm already using more than
what it says.
