Acer TravelMate 250
Hi all,
I am thinking of getting a Acer TravelMatwe 250 (TravelMate 252LC) laptop. Is their anything here which will not work with Linux? Here is a detailed spec of the model : - http://www.acer.co.uk/acereuro/page9...crc=2278769051 cheers Robert |
Try to get detailed hardware on the notebook from manufactor. Their spec list is very vague. Study their driver list for Windows. It might give hardware and version info. Download the Windows drivers and view their readme's.

I tried to install Mandrake 9.2 on Travelmate 250
(254LC_DT) and got a problem: the screen becomes blank/black and I can't see anything else, this happens after the first screen menu of the install procedure, when I hit return for std installations. I tried changing somethings, but it happened again... |
Try using knoppix or some other trial distro. If it works, then you know you can at least go the route of installing that to the HD, if all else fails.

works fine under both red aht 9 and slack 9.1
