Acer Christmas



AMD A6-3400M at 2.3 GHz (4 cores)
AMD Radeon HD 6520G 512 MB GDDR3
6 GB DDR3
6 cell lithium ion
15.6"
500 GB SATA
openSUSE 12.1 (KDE 4.7.2, Gnome 3.2.1, XFCE 4.8.6, LXDE 0.5.8 / 3.1.2 kernel)
Windows 7

I get internal wifi in Windows 7. I don't get wifi in Linux, yet I installed broadcom linux drivers successfully via sudo /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware. Hope fixed in openSUSE 12.2! Didn't have wifi drivers in PC-BSD 8.2

It has no 3D games, but a mirror of my 80 GB of mp3s, aotuv vorbis 5 and aac.

I bought an Asus USB103 today to fix Yast WIFI detection. The Zune 30 and a Creative Zen touch 20 GB are new, not Christmas presents. Zen touch is the greatest battery longevity, cheapest, 20 GB media player in history.

I got a couple of laptops to use, but this is my latest owned laptop.

How Boot PC-BSD 9 in GRUB

/etc/grub.d/40_custom:



menuentry "FreeBSD" --class freebsd --class bsd --class os {
insmod ufs2
set root='(hd0,4)'
chainloader +1
}



then

Terminal # update-grub
