z60 linux users out there?

#1 Post by iMav » Sat Mar 10, 2007 12:07 am

Any widescreen z60t linux users out there? And, if so, can you share you experiences?

I'm looking for a laptop to replace my 1st gen MacBook (1.83GHz CD). This will run linux exclusively. The x60 is nice and portable...but I think I would miss the widescreen.

Well, I had Ubuntu 6.10 and Suse 10.2 running on my Z60m, most things worked out of the box.
"I've come a long, long way," she said, "and I will go as far,
With the man who takes me from my horse, and leads me to a bar."
The man who took her off her steed, and stood her to a beer,
Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a DRUNKEN ENGINEER.

What didn't work? (assuming "most" does not equal "all") :)

Sorry about my bad choice of words.

Till today, everything works for me so far. What distro are you planning to use? I prefer OpenSuse 10.2 if you're happy with YaST slow performance otherwise Ubuntu 6.10.
