Acer and Pardus

[Willem]

I saw an Acer Aspire 3103 which was not to expensive (649 euros)
The laptop looks perfect, with only one diadvantage: it comes with MS Windows.
Does anyone know it the desktop is Pardus compatible.
It also has a ATI graphical card, does Pardus support this videocard?

Hi,

I use Acer Aspire 5002 Laptop.

I had aboslutely no problem installing Pardus. Not a hitch while installing.
It is cool distro.

I dont find any reason why it will not install on the Acer Aspire you hope to buy.

I have not checled Wifi.

I had an Acer Aspire 1310 laptop, with a Radeon videocard. No problems exept for the modem (it was a winmodem...). But it had no WiFi.
Tip: go to the shop with a live-CD, and ask if you may try-out the laptop from this CD.

My Acer Aspire 3681i works smooth with Pardus RC, as expected

Pardus works fine with Pardus 2007 and 2007.1 on my Acer Aspire 3102 WLMi. Only problem up to now sound input settings in Kmix.

Ah, same problem with my acer aspire 5050, I think.
Sounds is okay while listening via microphone, but the speakers are very silent. Do you recognize this problem and does anybody have a solution?

On my Acer laptop, I the output channel for my audio is called 3D, instead of the default output channel. So try some other channels with KMix
