Laptop help. (Need distro) - Gone - 12-27-2009
Hey i just got an acer aspire 5810t (timeline series)
http://www.linlap.com/wiki/acer+aspire+timeline+5810t
There is the linlap page, so the modules it is talking about, does any distro have them pre installed?
Thanks in advance.
post script: I would prefer mandriva, or a gnome os.

Ubuntu 9.10 will work with everything out of the box with the possible exception of Wireless Networking which you can install the required Driver by going into System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers.

I'll have to agree with Salmon and tell you to go with Ubuntu 9.10. As aforementioned, everything will work straight away (in most cases). I can guarantee the wireless will work, my Acer laptop had the same wireless card.

There is such a thing as too much friendliness?
