Hi All,
Just wondering whether anyone had acquired one of those swell lil'
dm1z thangs and gotten Slackware working on it?
I've heard some rumbles from Ubuntu-land that the wireless card may not work so well with Linux, but that may just be a 64-bit issue ...
UPDATE:
So ...
I've retitled this post in a less machine-specific fashion ... the thing is, I managed to turn my Asus eeePC 1000HE into a small brick last week, and am looking for a replacement.
If anyone has hardware recommendations for a portable (netbook or even small laptop) machine, somewhere in the under $500 range, that works well with Slackware, well, please let me know. I've been looking at the above-mentioned HP dm1z, the Acer Aspire 522, and a few others, but (as they are all pretty new) I can't find much specific information whether Linux is significant-problem-free on these boxes or not ...
Thank you,
Glenn
