i'm running an Acer 5315-2122 with debian "lenny" at the moment. it booted an ubutu and knoppix cd just fine. previously, I had suse running on it but switched to lenny, cuz the suse disn't seem to handle the sound card right. the debian seemed to fix things up just right. I got this one at a Radio-Shack store with a 2G memory for about $400. hth harv 0n Tue, Dec 30, 2008 at 7:46 AM, Troy <troythetechguy at gmail.com> wrote: > I'm considering purchasing the Acer Aspire AS4730-4857<http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115543> notebook > from newegg.com, looks like a great buy.
