would like to replace a 4 year old Sony VAIO with a an AMD64 laptop. What experience is there ? What works?
I looked at the AcerFerrari 3400 which looks good, except for the broadcom networking (both the 10/100/1000 RJ45 and the wireless are broadcom ) which I hear doesn't work well with OpenBSD. How does this work on linux??
The Broadcom wlan card is not supported at all.
Otherwise the AcerFerrari 3400 should work without problems,
We tested the Acer Ferrari 3200 here. It is difficult to get it working with SuSE Linux 9.1, I have a recipe to fix it however. If anyone is interested I'm happy to post it. 9.2 works out of the box. No WLAN, but NIC, BT, PCMCIA etc work well.

Hello Bodo, yes I am interested in the details for Suse9.1. Do you also tested the Acer1523-AMD64 notebook with Suse9.2 ? I dont like the red Ferrari outfit ! Or is there another Suse9.2-well-supported AMD64-notebook with a MOBIL version AMD64 ? Is the Netgear WG511T WLAN card (Atheros 54g) supported in Suse9.2-AMD64 ? Also with 108 Mbit/s ?
