Linux on Laptops
April 8th, 2005
I recently went through a little bit of hassle getting Linux onto my old Dell Inspiron 5000e at home but once I tried MandrakeLinux (now known as “Mandriva Linux”) everything went incredibly smoothly. Well, OK, it took a while to get my 3Com 802.11b card working but only because they were not allowed to distribute the firmware (thanks Luis) for the prism54 kernel module that shipped with Mandrake.
Anyway, to get to the point, SlashDot linked to what is supposed to be The State of Linux On Laptops, 2005. Any mention of Mandrake? Or Red Hat, or Debian, Gentoo? Not a sausage. Oh dear, note to SlashDot editors – do *some* quality control on the submissions you are posting…
