Hi! I want to buy the Acer Travelmate 212TXV. But as I want to install Linux on it my question is: has anybody experience with Linux on this, or at least a related Notebook? Are there any parts which do not work under Linux (Modem, Graphicscard, Sound, Speedstep-Technology, etc.) I am glad for any comment, because I think Acer might be very ignorant about Linux ;-) Johannes Egerer
www.linux-notebook.org/home/ and www.linux-laptop.net/ Would be a good place to start. I believe they have user gropus where you could ask. Good luck! Harry G On Wednesday March 06 2002 11:45 am, you interfaced in analog form:

Check out www.mobilix.org and see if other people have tried the same laptop and if it works without a lot of hassle. Johannes Egerer wrote:
