Installation on a Toshiba A200 1BP Laptop ...

Hi,

I have bought this notebook about a week ago and it has vista home premium
pre-installed. I am planning on installing debian testing on it as well.

I have read in various articles and posts that there are many issues
regarding hibernation and other power saving issues with almost all the
distros out there. I will really appreciate if anyone may have suggestions
regarding notebook installations, tips and troubleshooting that could be of
value.


Below are the specs of my Toshiba notebook:

CPU: Core2 Duo T722 2GZ
RAM: 2GB
Disk: 160GB
Video Card: Nvidia Gforce 7300 (256mb dedicated)
An unknown webcam
An integrated wireless and wired ethernet cards
A modem

Thank you...

Beware, I think this may invalidate their warranty. There were some
problems with this some years ago with either Toshiba and/or HP.

On my part, I think some beta linux sw MAY have destroyed my screen on
my first thinkpad (earliest thinpad model?) about 10 years ago which had
a triple boot of Win,OS/2,Linux (never a problem with similar one still
running - 365/365x).

There was a definite problem with some firmware/software on a thinkpad
some 8 years ago which killed many boards which IBM replaced free (as
soon as problem was discovered linux immediately changed code to bypass
some commands to thinkpads).

I do not want to scare you, I've been using Linux for years on eight
different models of IBM-thinkpads and three IBM desktop models and use
Linux 99.99% of time.
