Which LINUX on Acer Aspire 3003 WLMi?

vmarijus · 11-25-2005, 05:27 AM

Hi,

Could anybody give me advice which Linux distribution to chose on Acer Aspire 3003WMLi? I may prefer Fedora Core 4. Does anybody tried it? Are there any problems? Any instructions?..

check out tuxmobil.org. There is a list of installs on various computers, this will allow you to see what other people have installed on this laptop, then you can make a decision.

hehe... I think you mean, www.centos.org

:lol:

Anyway,

A friend of mine uses SuSE 9.3 on his Acer 3000 series laptop and it runs quite well.
From what I understand, he's upgraded it to SuSE 10 OSS, and has had no problems. (but I have not seen it running 10 yet, so I'll just report for 9.3)

I use Ubuntu Breezy Linux on my ACER 3003LCI and everything works out of the box, I had to download the wpasupplicant for wpa wireless authentication, but other than everything works fine

I posted my experiences with slack 10.2 and aspire 3003lmi on tuxmobil.org yesterday. You could check that out.

Fedora core is a good choice...........It got only one proble with my aspire 3000 nlc...........The LAN card won't work unless u pass the argument
"pci=noacpi" to the kernel.

what kind of card do you have? You may need ndiswrapper, not another distro. Just a though before you go through the install process again.
