Sources of More Information

Specifications, manuals and manufacturer support often are not helpful. Therefore you should retrieve information from other sources too:

  1. Highly recommended is the survey by Kenneth E. Harker Linux on Laptops .

  2. Some newer machines are described at the TuxMobil UniX Laptop Survey .

  3. ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/laptops/ .

  4. Hardware-HOWTO

  5. A Debian project: The Open Hardware Certification Program

  6. HARDWARE.doa.org is dedicated to the hardware aspects of (Linux) computing

  7. How to Build a PC FAQ - excellent hardware overview by Billy Newsom

  8. Last but not least the WWW itself. Please try the search engine of your choice, for me Google almost always was helpful.

General information about manufacturer support you may find in my Linux Status Survey of Laptop Manufacturers , though don't expect from them yet. Sometimes the Survey of OEM Relations may help to find information for your laptop under another brand name.
