Linux on notebook ASUS A7Sv
 

Is there any linux distribution that can be installed on notebook ASUS A7Sv (Intel® Core 2 Duo T7500, Santa Rosa)?

I think that I will have a lot of problems with SATA hard drive, TV turner, web-camera, sound, graphics and so on... As with a lot of others Linux distributions I have tried on my home PC (not a notebook).
Windows Vista is installed by default and there are a lot of problems to get Windows XP up and running.

I want to have 3 OS:
1. Windows Vista
2. Windows XP
3. Linux

Can anyone help me?

I'd advise you to try a linux LiveCd on your machine, to see what is and isn't supported. Try Knoppix, it has good hardware detection features. As far as Vista is concerned the only time I had it on an Acer desktop, the thing didn't even boot. (just my luck, but I found that others had similar probs with that machine).
So I did the sensible thing and wiped it from the HD. But some SATA HDs are not recognized, that's true (in Debian, I mean). Though Ubuntu or PCLinuxOs could do the trick. Once grub is installed, it'll be able to help you boot those three OS.

Why would you think that ? I would only worry about the TV-tuner, but you'd need to provide more info on it to be sure. I also hope you have an nvidia video card, because the ati drivers are a little crappy, but not much crappier than they are on Window$.

I had a lot of problems with several linux distributions on my home PC. First does't support SATA, second - my nvidia GeForce 6800 GS, third - sound in motheboard ASUStek A8N-E. I tried Fedora 5, Archlinux, Mandriva, Slackware.

Yes, I have nvidia.
