these problems were pointed out by a user in the last part of last week so i |
16 |
remember them. i don't think that these problems were corrected in the last |
17 |
2.6.23. anyway trying a 2.6.22 kernel would be good for knowing if this |
18 |
version could support this processor. |

Typically speaking the LiveCD lags several versions behind the latest |

for example, opensuse's one was always current with the distro. the distro |
26 |
was out less than 14 days ago and included a lot of new packages. that one i |
27 |
pretty good in terms of drivers (has the 2.6.22r8 if i don't miss). |
28 |
your affirmation is good to point out that if livecd works out then surely |
29 |
the installed distro would surelly go well. |
30 |
i was forgetting: for all the new processors it's possibile to run |
31 |
paravirtualized windows on linux with xen. so you can run windows and linux |
32 |
at the same time if you need to. also i would recommend installing linux on |
33 |
a lvm2 (on the gentoo docs should be some instructions on how to do it). |
