Anyone know of a working Linux for Laptops.

I preferably don't want to use Lindows, but if that is my last hope then so be it.

Peace :P

Well, a laptop is hardware and linux is software.

I have had no problem taking a laptop that has windows and putting linux on it.

Thanks,

I just read some sites, and I just ordered Mandrake 9.2

I checked it against some pages and it should work on my laptop.

Any of you used / using Mandrake 9.2? What is it like?

Do you know if Adobe Photoshop is aailable on it?

Cheers

Dani

Adobe Photoshop only runs on Windows & Mac. However, some people have said that they have been able to get older versions of it on Wine.

Mandrake is one of the best possible choices when it comes to linux for the home.

Thank You again Tommy.

Do you know about any other popular Microsoft based product that can be used on Mandrake?

Things such as web browsers (Mozilla 1.4 pre-installed apparently)
Image editing tools.
Website Creation tools (Dreamweaver etc)

Thanks again


Linux Forever!

Mozzila originated for linux, so it's gonna work...

No Photoshop, but Mandrake poubably comes with GIMP. It's the linux version of photoshop, but not as good.

And there are a lot of web creation programs, but, again, I doubt anything as good as dreamweaver...

Do you think it is safe to partition my HDD to run XP Professional and Mandrake 9.2?

Would Mandrake run off an External HDD or a Memory Stick or does it need to be actually on the computer?

Greatly Appreciated.

Dani

if youre trying out linux for the first time, i'd say install a partition (if enough space on HD) otherwise, i cant remember what it's called, but there is a brand of linux thats for beginners that runs off of a cdrom and works as a full OS... it's something like Ximian or something

Are you thinking of Knoppix Almos-tGood? I've used Knoppix which seems to be alright. I've also used a smaller variant of Knoppix which was called "Damn Small Linux" which I wrote on a mini-cd. Knoppix is alright if you want to get a feel for Linux and see how it is.

Note: Its not called "Darn" in the "Darn Small Linux" I'm sure you can figure out what it is (The language filter zapped it hehe).

yeah... dont know why i said Ximian... weird
