hello,

I want to buy a laptop. As I saw if i buy a centrino machine I will not have too much problem with my suse 10 because with centrino you got the same chipset for video, wifi, lan , sound independently of the manufacturer

I am interesting buy AMD Turion which is good as Pentium in term of performances, and almost the same for power consumption. But It seem that this way is more hard because i can got a lot of video, lan , wifi card , depend on laptop manufacturer

I have look at the two site : http://www.tuxmobil.org/mylaptops.html http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/

I didn't found answer on theses , one reason is laptop change very often and new models are not on. one other reason is even with the "same" card, the bios on machine can influence the behavior with linux.

On Dell or HP web site no mention for linux compatibility .. everywhere : we recommend Windows XP !!

On Suse web site i can't find now the hardware database which seem to desapear with Novell ?

So what is the synthetic answer to that question :

which (actual) laptop with Turion can be use with suse 10 without to much hardware problems ?

regards

You have to be careful on which Truion you get. there are two turion chips a ML (35 watts) and a MT (25 watts). I remeber reading that the opensuse 10.1 has limited success and that gentoo has shown success with the compaq laptops. -- Joseph Loo jloo@acm.org
