I have SuSE 6.3 running on a solo 9300. It works very well. I have it dual booted with win98 and there have been no major problems (other than a few 'operator errors' along the way.) As always the only tricky problem is getting X working correctly. I found some help on the linux on laptops web site (http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/) and suggest you look there. It has a couple more entries for the 9300 than when I set it up and I've been meaning to look at the video settings to see if anything is better than what I'm using so you might as well start there. If you have any specific problems let me know and if I've encountered them I'll pass on whatever I've learned, but at least you can be confident that it can be done. It is a great machine and you're right about the manuals, though I haven't seen any really useful manuals for any computer for a long time. Bernie Gardner On 04-Mar-00 Bobby Geortgilakis wrote:
Hi all,
anyone hereabouts set on of these up with Tux by you know what distro, version 6.3? If so, lemmie/us know how you did it.
I need to contact the local Gateway people down here, as I do not have enough info on my screen... The manuals are somewhat empty. Still, honey of a machine! :-) *bliss*
