Hi! I have a compaq presario 1200. It runs linux fine. There are drivers for the modem, and sound. If you want sound drivers though, you will have to compile the 2.4 kernel found at ftp.kernel.org as the drivers for that sound card are not avalible in previous kernels. If you want a link to the modem driver, ask and you shall recieve. Good luck! ----- Original Message ----- From: Bruce Noblick To: speakup-info Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2000 8:17 PM Subject: multi-purpose message Hi all! The first thing I want to do is be sure the address I have put in my address book is right. The second is to ask a series of questions. I have a Compaq presario computer and wonder if I can have a reasonable expectation that Linux in any flavor will work on it. If it does not, are there any particular vendors or machines that are known to work well? Finally, what are P. C. M. C. I A. boards? I derive from context that they may be NIC cards or have something to do with laptop computers. Thanks much and enjoy! Bruce -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
