[gentoo-user] Gentoo on Acer Aspire 5002

[Felipe Ribeiro]

I'm thinking about buying the Acer Aspire 5002.

Does any of you have one? Did you have problems to set things up?
(video, wlan, etc)

Is there any thing i shoul take into consideration before buying?

Cheers,
Felipe

I would recommend you confirming if the wlan interface is supported 
under Linux.

You should look at:
http://www.linux-laptop.net/
which sends you to:
http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/acer.html
and then to:
http://roguestar.dynu.com:5555/acer.html

Or:
http://tuxmobil.org/mylaptops.html

Broadcom wireless cards have been traditionally horrible under Linux,  
but it looks like you should now be ok. A Google indicates that  
Ubuntu 5.10 supports this chipset out of the box.

This is the same as the Apple Airport Extreme, and is now supported
natively - http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-409194.html
