I have a Toshiba Satellite M-30 (Pentium M 1.4Ghz, Inegrated WLAN), and
I finally decided to put Linux on it, next to Windows XP Pro. The
question now is - which distro?
Which distribution offers the best hardware support for Toshiba
laptops? I've heard good things about SUSE, and had good experiences
with Slackware on laptops.
Another question would be bootloaders, it would be good to have the
distro set up the bootloader, to dual boot Linux and Windows, during
the install.
The three options I'm considering right now are:
Slackware 10.1 - I just love Slack, simple and stable.
Fedora Core 3 - Works good out of the box. Easy, automated updates.
Will probably set up my bootloader.
SUSE 9.2 Pro - Apparently it has good hardware support.
Ideas? Experiences?
Thanks in advance.
