Experts,
A colleague of mine in Japan is thinking of purchasing the following
laptop and loading Mandrake 8.1 on it. I can't see any problem with
it (other than the Windows software :-) but I'd like your esteemed
opinions before he commits the money, especially since I have never
worked with nVIDIA video hardware.
I'm aware that one must get the _binary_ drivers from nVIDIA
but, apart from this, do you see any technical problems?
Has anyone on the list already purchased one of these and loaded
Mandrake 8.1?
The colleague's "built to order" choice is:
model:Inspiron 8100
cpu:P-III 1GHz
mem:256MB(x1)
HDD:30GB E-IDE
CD:CD-RW
video:nVIDIA GeForce2 Go 16MB
LCD:15inch TFT UXGA(1600x1200) 24bit color
NIC:internal 10/100Base-T + V.90 FAX modem Combo
(OS:Windows XP Professinal(JP))
Thanks for any help you can provide.
