FC2 on a Dell M60

[Simon Sedgwick]

Hi one and all,

I'm thinking about purchasing a Dell M60 and dual booting XP Pro and
FC2. I've read a few reports of Dell laptops getting fried because the
ACPI support doesn't work properly with the 2.4 kernel; has anybody got
suspend to work with FC2 and the 2.6 kernel? I know I'll need the
Linuxant drivers to get the modem and WiFi to work.

FYI, I plan to use XP only for my music composition and FC2 for
development, 3D/2D graphics and everything else. So if you know of any
other problems I'm likely to encounter with going over to Dell laptops
I'd love to know.

Cheers

Simon
