Winmodem still not working. I've used Mandrake 9.2 on the same laptop but MDK refused to work properly with the external keboard which is a native PS/2 bu connected to the laptop using a PS/2-USB converter as the laptop do not have a PS/2 port. Fedora just automatically configure it for me without any problem.

SUSE 8.2. Only at start up a small problem of a full-loaded TFT screen (black-white bars). All the rest = ok ! Warning if you have a Windows XP installed ; LEAVE IT there! You can copy easily drivers etc with your KDE browser. Don't install LILO then but Grub (NT files aren't always recognised...)

Ubuntu 8.10 minor issues with the wireless driver. This can be resolved in terminal with: 'sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic' (without quotes) - wired lan works out of the box. Connect wired lan for this install. This will add driver 'Support for 5xxx series of Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards'. enable this driver and deactivate the 'Support for Atheros 802.11' that is selected default. - reboot and atheros wireless is operational. Video driver Geforce - choose driver 177.

I've tried the Acer Ferrari 3000 under Linux SuSE 9.1 and Ubuntu Warty and Hoary, and it worked well. I can warn you from Red Hat's previous versions (haven't tried the latest). Anyway Ferrari 3000 is a good computer, even though it gets a bit hot.

I have a acer 800lci centrino 1.3 laptop, put a gentoo 1.4 on it, everything works except wireless. Cache (1Mb!) and Nifty power saving options are accessable through the unstable 2.5.67 kernel, but then there is no laptop. Even without the cache it runs very well actually.
