this pc will work at 100% of its functionality on any linux version |
| 22 |
available. everything, starting from the sata controllers to the video |
| 23 |
board, is supported by the linux kernel. you might have to install |
| 24 |
only the abn wireless intel drivers and you're done. |
| 25 |
you'll just need to follow the gentoo installation handbook and |
| 26 |
compile the right modules in the kernel and you'll have the notebook |
| 27 |
working perfectly. you might also want to try out the live ebuilds for |
| 28 |
the intel xorg drivers to have the most recent intel updates. this |
| 29 |
driver is the only one to support usermode xorg server and kernel |
| 30 |
modesetting. for this i'd advice you to try out first the fedora 9 |
| 31 |
version + updates; you might use it to compile the gentoo later from |
| 32 |
it - use alternative source installation: from another linux |
| 33 |
distribution so that you'll still have a linux distro working (about |
| 34 |
30mins of installation time) while compiling gentoo. |
| 35 |
i'd also advise you to use the amd64 branch since it will take full |
| 36 |
advantage of this pc. |
