Description:
|
Medion Microstar MD6032 notebook. Originally purchased December 2002. Quite a beefy machine even in mid-2005. Features Pentium IV 2.5Ghz processor, 512Mb RAM, 40Gb HDD, CD-RW, 64Mb GeForce4, 15.1" screen.
Installing has always been fairly straight-forward on this machine. Older distros used to have problems with the network card, RealTek 8139, but most new distros based on the 2.6.x kernel detect this fine. Graphics has always been detected fine, though I generally use 'vesa' driver, though the proper nVidia drivers have been installed without problems on SuSE 8.1 a year or so ago.
Currently running Debian 3.1r0a and all hardware is detected fine. No problems picking up sound, network or graphics - configured straight out the box during the installer.
Although no built-in wireless as with newer laptops, I also have a Netgear MA401PCMCIA card running through it and working fine. Extras instructions on setting this card available through a separate HCL entry. A tip - update the firmware first.
