LinuxCertified LC2430 Laptop Review

Posted by michael on from the still-not-100% dept.

Anonymouse writes "OSNews posted a comprehensive review of the made-for-Linux LinuxCertified LC2430 laptop. They found that all its components are fully compatible with Linux, except with ACPI in recent kernels (which actually affects many laptops recently). The laptop is a desktop replacement with strong performance and some good extra features: Firewire port, 3-1 card reader, combo drive, SXGA+ TFT screen and an ATi Radeon 3D card. Four Linux distributions were tested with it."

    You can put Linux on the iBook
    Sure, you can put Linux on an iBook, but immediately you've crippled the hardware. i.e. good luck getting your wireless card working. :(
    Thus, buying an Apple notebook to run Linux is no real advantage.
