Does anybody try to use this model under Ubuntu, or other kind of Linux like opertaion system Sony is more expencive from my point of view. Main purpose of using of this laptop is software development. -- Thanks in advance Alex -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@...

Like you, this is a primary working machine. I also liked the fact it had an additional internal hdd bay. Though the atheros wireless card worked fine I replaced it with a broadcom card and noticed better performance with the wireless. Happy Shopping. -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@...

Except WLAN (I don't have access to it) everything is working fine. I would say Acer laptops have much more compatibility with Linux. ------ Arijit Sarkar India -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@...

Ask the vendors. Write to Sony, Acer, and Toshiba and see what they say.
If we do not express interest in Linux support from the vendors, how can we expect them to provide that support? They cannot read our minds. Let them know that there is a market for Linux support. You may be happily surprised by their responses. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@...
