I don't know what their model numbers are, but they have appeared around 2-3 weeks ago. If you have an indiatimes email account, you can use http://epaperdaily.timesofindia.com and check out the archives. Or find out your old paper stocks in the store-room ;) But the Acer Showroom (in SION) didn't know what Linux distribution was installed on the Laptop! :) (I had called up only to ask that!) Oh, sorry, after going through the link, the OS that comes pre-installed is Linux, but again, donno, which distro. (had written the above before visting) Psst ... Spelling mistake in subject line? (Type Linux Linux ... ;) ) -- http://www.somaiya.edu/sksasc/default.asp __________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Answers: Share what you know.

Linix on Laptop.
by Rony 30 Nov '06

30 Nov '06

Hello Everyone, I am zeroing in on an Acer Laptop for my family's usage. The model is TravelMate 2428NWXCi http://www.acer.co.in/products/notebooks/tm2420.html The sole purpose will be internet, email and office suite. I would like to know how this laptop fares with linux and which distro works best on it. I specially plan to make use of the wireless LAN, so does it work out of the box or does it need some hours of sweat and hard work? What are user experiences for this model? Any information provided will be highly appreciated and thanks for the same in advance. Regards, Rony. Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

Since we are on this topic now, i guess it would be prudent to say that if there is anyone looking for filesystem based projects they could look at contributing towards Reiser4. i know there are other higher priority projects out there, but if anyone is specifically interested they could check out : http://www.namesys.com/v4/v4.html Interestingly, Hans was spearheading Reiser4's design and a lot of its implementation alone. There some contribution is coming from ``talented programmers from Russia and Ukraine" but was/is the heart and sole of Reiser4 so far. Even if people have a basic interest in Computer Science, its a nice page to check out. i especially was interested in ``dancing tree structures". Just my thoughts! i think i have given mine.

> People only have to know if the decision affects reiserfs development. That was the point behind sending the Wikipedia link and not ``just" my thoughts on the same. The end of the article raises those points. Anyway the result of the trial will give us the final picture. Never the less i felt that i should post this, and let people make their own conclusions. Anything further from me would be a biased prejudice. People > do not have anything to do with this otherwise. It is not peoples' place > to > pass judgements in public over someone they're not remotely concerned with > otherwise. Don't get me wrong, the intent was NOT to share random gossip. it is a horrible post - horribly OT, and you have not mentioned that > in the topic My apologies, Kenneth and anyone else who felt so. Dear Admin's if you felt the same, apologies as well. Regards, - vihan

You can check the Wikipedia page for the whole story : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Reiser i'm sorry for such a horrible post, but i believe people ought to know. By all accounts this is the most morbid and macabre post ever on this list. Never the less, people have to know. Regards, - vihan
