    Just wondering if anyones had experience with a Fujitsu and Linux. I'd like to have a dual boot, as long as it doesnt slow down the system. if it does, then no dual boot.

    I use it mostly for recording and editing with Cubase SX3. The only other stuff i do is internet, email, that sort of thing.

    Regards,
    Nick

    it is more of an issue of setting/finding drivers then machine types.
    http://tuxmobil.org/centrino.html offers a good guide as how to handle intel processors under linux

    cheers ...

    Kanotix runs great on my older fujitsu N5010. Heck, it was running great a year ago! I bet yours will be fine. The only thing that might be a problem is bluetooth, if you have it. I don't have it and so I know nothing about bluetooth and linux, hence my statement that it may be a problem.

    Bluetooth shouldn't present a major problem. Fortunately, virtually every bluetooth implementation (built in, dongle etc.) is based on only a handful of chipsets. The bluetooth software used under linux is BlueZ, and it's included with virtually every recent distrobution.
