Nice job getting this stuff going again....hopefully we will all breath some life back into this group.
I was wondering if it might not be a good idea to post all the gory details of the specifications of these notebooks.
For example, the horizontal sync rates, mobo info, graphics, etc.... So that when we have questions about certain pieces of hardware, we can just go to the sticky post.
I know that during my Debian linux install it asked all sorts of details on the LCD panel, that I didn't know - including the horizontal sync, etc...
Just a thought.
(I searched through but didn't see one, so if there is already one, ignore me and delete this :) )
That is a good idea, but I'm not sure of the rates. I think you can get that info from a Knoppix livecd, but I can't remember right now. Anyway, if you have any information to get the post going, I'll be sure to sticky it.
