Hi
I'm new at linux, and i'm portuguese, so if there is any incorrection in my text i'm sorry.
So I have this computer, ACER TRAVELMATE 525TX, and I don't know what is the best linux for this computer.
I'd really appreciate if someone could help me out here.
I don't really know how to install it properly, too, so if you could help me with that too it would be awesome.
All you would need to do is download Linux and burn it to a CD or DVD.
Before you download you will need to know if your laptop is 32-bit architecture or 64-bit architecture.
Choosing the correct .iso file is essential and checking the integrity of the .iso file is a must.
We need the specifications about your Acer in order to recommend a distribution.
Hi again.
And thank you all. Ztcoracat: the specs are those, i think. fatmac: i decided to install it and it worked... i just have a problem, i can't access to pendrives, and wifi receptors... i don't know how to solve it, if you have any brilliant ideas i wouls love you to share them
Distribution: Mainly Devuan, antiX, & Void, with Tiny Core, Fatdog, & BSD thrown in.

Rep:
You should be able to access pendrives via the filemanager by clicking on it to have it mounted, don't forget to unmount it when you are done, before removing it.
(You can also mount them via the terminal using sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt or similar depending on where it is & where you want to mount it.)
Regarding wifi, I use Antix 13.2 & ceni run in a terminal, but most people use wicd from the menu. If you are using MX14, there should be an option in the menu.
