Re: Linux on notebooks, which one to buy?
in conclusion...
I dug deep and found the following resources for installing Linux on
laptops. This site covers Linux support, or lack of, for most laptops:
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/
http://www.linux.org/hardware/laptop.html
The Apple iBook is not discussed so I talked to someone who had tried to
install it on theirs and they were unable to get the following working:
ATI Video
sound card
internal modem
USB floppy drive
So, the iBook is out of the Q.
Considering that support for laptops is greater than my original impression,
I'm going to use one of our spare laptops lying around the office to set
linux up on and save my money for the full fledged wearable I hope to build
(yeah, I keep telling myself that).
