If you are able to run on a laptop like this the commands: |
| 37 |
lspci |
| 38 |
cat /proc/cpuinfo |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
It will give a good insight of the spec of this laptop. |
| 41 |
I would take with me a live gentoo cd and try to run it on this laptop in |
| 42 |
the store. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
One more thing, If the wireless card is not supported, I think that you can |
| 45 |
buy one that is supported by linux for 30$. |
| 46 |
Just make sure you know how to change the cards. |
