It works fine for me
I will post something on H-node saying that is how to fix it.
I've been using a Thinkpad X61 for about 2 years now. I recently switched to
Trisquel from Parabola and everything works great for me. I did have to flash
a custom BIOS in order to get a free software supported wifi card to work,
but it was well worth it (And only cost about $6).
I personal
Battery life is still an issue with free software - hardware. I've had for a
short time a Samsung with Atom CPU that went for over 12 hours with WiFi and
Bluetooth off and over 7 hours with both on.
Heh, and with that I am reminded of Mike Linksvayer's [0] comment that "if
you aren’t helping make freedom real and real popular, you hate freedom!"

Exactly what I was saying.
Though... I'd also frown on contributing to companies contributing to
proprietary software development too. But not what I was saying.
First thing I'd avoid is those using digital restrictions (HP, Dell, Toshiba,
Sony, Apple, Lenovo/IBM are well known for this, mo
What is this agenda you have against ThinkPenguin? We've sold plenty of
people spare batteries, AC adapters, etc. We have replacement parts for core
components (shells, motherboards, screens, batteries, ac adapters, keyboards,
etc) in addition to common components like CPUs, hard drives, and

I think he means more that when you buy hardware that makes no effort to
work with free/libre software, companies have no incentive to fix the
problem.
When you say I am contributing to non-free software, do you mean the £30
microsoft got for my windows 8 licsense?
I don't know specifically about the Asus x200CA although Asus is not on our
'avoid at all costs list', although, that doesn't mean I'd recommend them.
Your still contributing to non-free software. The companies to avoid at all
cost are HP, IBM/Lenovo, Dell, Toshiba, Sony, and Apple. They use

When I posted that my intendsion was for people to post their model numbers,
and for me to decide if one of them is suitable. For some reason, that laptop
was listed as B on H-node (but only a few trivial things dont work.

Cool! Good to hear that it works for you.
Andrew.
I have bought and now have a x200CA.
Thank you Andrew for suggesting it.
It works very well, everything that needs to work does.
Thank you!

Hey Lembas,
Thanks for the link! this is great information -- unfortunately even when
this computer had Windows on it, it would max out at around 2.5 hours so
surprisingly Trisquel does just as well!
The nice part about this specific computer is that it is small, light, and
has a pretty
Hi!
I was having trouble getting the video on the site you linked to - I tried to
upload it twice but it did not seem to go through. So, I uploaded it to an
alternate location.

Chris (Owner of ThinkPenguin) is pretty active on these forums, I am not sure
about the answer this this question - but I hope he comes by and provides
some insight!
Is the one in the x200ca the ath9k? I intend to get that one.
That firmware is experimental. An ath9k card is certainly better since
Atheros actually supports it without any nonfree software.
But if I update the Kernel then it will work totally perfectly, (i do not
care for bluetooth, which might not work)
I will look into those computers, and see which one is best for my needs.
What is the situation for replacement batteries for Penguin Laptops? That
they do not exist?
About the Wi-Fi card: AirForce Broadcoms should also do. I've got a laptop at
home with a Broadcom94311 card and OpenfWWF supports it.
Have you seen this?

Can you post one video or photos using the touch screen? http://gobblin.se
Also -- Maybe worth mentioning, the touch screen (while faddish and kind of
useless) works with the latest libre-kernel. :)
Hey!
I am using a Lenovo IdeaPad S210 Touch-- It was under $300, my version came
with the Atheros wireless card, and everything works perfectly out of the
box.
The only thing I do not like is the battery life is only around 2 hours.
Best,

Is the X60 (from Gluglug) too big too? I don't see a keyboard option on the
Gluglug site, but from a quick search it looks like there are UK keyboards
for it that you can get elsewhere.
The one I have is very old, 2003 or something. If I go onto Youtube or
similar, and open another tab, the browser would probabaly crash, and the
internal wireless card does not work. I got an external one, but people at
school seem to think it is funny to constantly disconnect it and throw it

With Penguin laptops, wont there be an issue that if you use the battery all
the time, like charge/discharge once every second day, it will be impossible
to get a replacement battery?
Also, only one model has a UK keyboard, and that model is too physicially
large for me.
