[cruesome]

cruesome ... how about ZIMBRA?

 

i hate it when features differs between opensource/community and the commercial version =(

im thinking to buy linux aspire one. ung pinakamaliit na acer laptop. running with linpus(linux version) sa totoo lang gusto ko sya since may wifi sya. un lang ang big reason bakit hindi ako nag lilinux sa laptop ko na hp/ hindi kasi supported ng hp ang linux version at wala silang driver.

 

any side comments about linpus?

 

any way my experience na ako sa mandrake, red hat, ubunto at debian. so if ever na mabili ko ang acer aspire one this is my 1st time to use linpus.

I bought an Acer Aspire 4920G-6AIGI6Mi laptop. May bundled vista sya. Pero ginawa kong dual boot with Ubuntu hardy heron.

Ang galing! Gumana lahat ng kailangan ko out of the box. Wala nang special configurations. Wifi, bluetooth, video may driver agad :cool:

 

Sa mga takot bumili ng laptop baka kasi hindi gumana yung wifi sa ubuntu. Pag ang wifi nya ay Intel PRO 3945ABG. Sure yun gagana agad sa Ubuntu hardy heron. No need to install drivers.

talaga. intel atom ang processor ng acer aspire one na balak ko bilhin

[mackyboy]

Ah. What I'm referring to as Intel PRO 3945ABG is the WIFI chip, not the processor. Sa Aspire One ata Atheros yung gamit for WIFI. WIFI will not run on Ubuntu's first boot. You have to install drivers pa.

 

Pero try mo muna Linpus lite. User friendly rin daw yan. Sabi nila mabilis magboot ang linpus.

 

Pero if ever you want switch to Ubuntu, here's a guide:

Install Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04.1) on the Acer Aspire One

 

Pag fedora eto:

Installing and configuring Fedora on the Acer Aspire One netbook.

grabe sumuko na ata ang mga laptop manufacturer sa microsoft. kaso i prefer either asus or acer na laptop na wala pang 10inch ang monitor. i really need that small thing. pero ang pinaka nakakatuwa natutunan na din ng acer na makitie up sa linux. anyway thanks sa growing population ng linux user dito.

how's the stability for using citrix in linux?

is there's a way na ma manual define yung USB ports para kahit mag restart eh sa kanya pa din naka assign yung port na nagamit mo ng una?

i think that all depends on your usb device/driver, or kernel version. used a usb gsm modem nad the device maps perfectly on a /dev/ttyUSBx.

 

take a look at your "dmesg | grep hci" and /dev/ttyUSB* or /dev/ttyS* for some hints.

Hmm... onboard LAN should work "out-of-the-box".

In terminal type "lspci". the LAN chipset should be listed there. Paste here the output.

[james_bandido]

try restarting eth0

1. open up a terminal window

2. type in "sudo ifdown eth0" {ENTER} (of course minus the quotes)

3. type in "sudo ifup eth0" {ENTER}

make sure the correct driver of the "onboard lan" is loaded. its probable that ubunto do not support your lan out of the box, check the board manual and load the correct driver.

it seems ubuntu knows what the eth0 contoller is, it lists a name for both usb and ethernet controllers.

will post the whole output when i get home.

1. open up a terminal window

2. type in "sudo ifdown eth0" {ENTER} (of course minus the quotes)

3. type in "sudo ifup eth0" {ENTER}

 

the terminal returned: "command cannot be found". i typed it without quotes po.

maybe you're on to something sir. do you have an idea where to get the drivers?

i mean the proper drivers on the cd that came with the board are for the windows OS, not linux

so i have to get a tarball of the driver right?

 

thanks so much for the help guys, will post an update again :mtc:
