my motto is to try the livecd first if it is available for your chosen distro.
if that runs without a hitch you don't need to worry when you install it. |

for my setup FF is better than GG when it comes to hibernation, screensavers, and uptime.
my GG like hang after a few hours leaving it alone and cannot hibernate properly. but FF got an irritating keystuck problem |

Then there's shouldn't be problem.. As wut i noe.. LinuxMint is packaged with all the proprietary driver + software.. i finnaly got my laptop ACER Aspire 5500 Series Notebook to work with LinuxMint where the main constraint was the ATi graphic card. beside the point.. i strongly recommendLinuxMint.. there won't be any problem in updating the software as it's using ubuntu software repos.. Anyway, please correct me if i m wrong. Tq. |

QUOTE(last7 @ Mar 21 2008, 01:32 AM) I'm running LinuxMint 4.0 on IBM Thinkpad R60. everything works ok. graphic card (intel) supported.Compiz running well with all the bell and whistle. function keys mostly work except the lcd/projector F7. You need to modify the xconfig to make 2nd monitor (projector) work. Plenty of ubuntu site explain about this. I've run older Mint (2.0-3.0) and Opensuse 10.1-10.2 all running ok. |
