Greetings all,
My first Laptop that I have gotten is the above model with 1 gig memory, 100 gig Hard drive Pentium 4 ATI radion 9000 chip ( if I remember correctly)
I tried to run Linspire Live on it but after the Linspire load screen came up and the bar went across the screen the screen went black and a white underscore in the upper left hand corner came up and thats all she wrote! :mad:
I am wondering if anyone has run ANY linux on this laptop.
It is a Toshiba A75-S2131
Thanks for your help.

Ubuntu 5.10 Will Work For You
Suse Elso

Please stay away from Linspire...

Boot from live DVD is ok, but Graphics hangs, wifi (Atheros) adapter don't work, YaST hangs while find devices.....

Atheros drivers are not in the kernel, they have proprietary license. You can get them from madwifi.org (http://madwifi.org)

Ubuntu comes with the madwifi driver in them... so that is not a problem
