i have an acer travelmate 4052 NLCi. centrino 1.6, wi-fi 802.11 b/g, infrared, 512 MB RAM (default was 256) and a CDRW/DVD combo. pretty good, works very smoothly with Ubuntu linux. everything worked out of the box, even the touchpad and battery monitor. got an additional bluetooth dongle attached and now i've a small wireless network. comes pre-installed with SUSE 9.1 but i replaced that with Ubuntu Hoary for better hardware support. total cost was 51.5K (48K + 3500 for 256 MB RAM). i've heard now better models are available and cheaper than this one o--------------------------------------------------o | vivek * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://exain.net | | Registered Linux User: #305493 | o--------------------------------------------------o ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list linux-india-help@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
