Acer Aspire 1300XC Notebook (Linux on the)

Published on July 10, 2003, by Michael Zolda, ©Michael Zolda.

I present my experiences with Linux on an Acer Aspire 1300XC Notebook. I describe the hardware and whether it is (or might be) supported under Linux and talk about problems that one might encounter during installation or operation. There are several machines that are very similar to the one discussed here, notably the models of the Aspire 1300 and 1302 series. Therefore most of this text should also apply to these machines.

Linux Laptop-HOWTO

Published on February 27, 2003, by Werner Heuser, ©Werner Heuser.

Laptops are different from desktops/towers. They use certain hardware such as PCMCIA cards, infrared ports, batteries, docking stations. Often their hardware is more limited (e.g. disk space, CPU speed), though the performance gap is becoming smaller. In many instances, laptops can become a desktop replacement. Hardware support for Linux (and other operating systems) on laptops is sometimes more limited (e.g. graphic chips, internal modems). Laptops often use specialized hardware, hence finding a driver can be more difficult. Laptops are often used in changing environments, so there is a need for multiple configurations and additional security strategies. Though there are laptop related HOWTOs available already, this HOWTO contains a concise survey of laptop related documents. Also, laptop related Linux features, such as installation methods for laptops (via PCMCIA, without CD drive, etc.), laptop hardware features and configurations for different (network) environments are described. Besides there are some n

Linux on the Road - A Guide for Laptops and Mobile Devices

Published on July 15, 2003, by Werner Heuser, ©TuxMobil.

Mobile computer devices (laptops, PDAs, cell phones, digital cameras, calculators, wearables, ...) are different from desktop/tower computers. They use certain hardware such as PCMCIA cards, infrared ports, batteries, docking stations and hardware parts cannot be changed as easily as in a desktops, e.g. the graphic card. Often their hardware is more limited (e.g. disk space, CPU speed), though the performance gap is becoming smaller. In many instances, laptops can become a desktop replacement.
