Lifebook S6510 - The Saga Continues
Blog The Core 2 Duo CPU is not blowing me away. By the way, I discovered that the SpeedFan utility shows a lot more information when it is "run as administrator" under Vista, including showing separate CPU load bars for each processor.

Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) Beta
Blog Comment I have now also installed the Karmic Beta on my Fujitsu-Siemens S2110, which has an AMD Turion CPU and ATI Radeon graphic adapter, once again with no problems. Update and additional information: It is probably also worth mentioning which...

Thankfully, it worked for me
Talkback I installed XP SP3 on my Lifebook S2110, which has an AMD Turion 64 CPU, with no problems. Whew. After what I have been through with Vista on the Lifebook S6510 (and the S2110, for that matter, although not as much), I would have been really...

Traveling Success with Linux
Blog Comment This works for me flawlessly with two totally different laptops and wireless interfaces; the Lifebook S2110 is an AMD cpu and Atheros wireless interface, and the Lifebook S6510 is an Intel cpu and Intel 4965 wireless interface.

openSolaris 2008.11
Blog That's a bit risky, because it has an AMD CPU and ATI graphic adapter, which have sometimes been problematic with Linux installations, but why not give it a big test right away? Now for something completely different.

The Range of Linux Distributions
Blog Comment I had significant problems even on my "normal" Lifebook S6510, with an Intel CPU, graphic adapter and wireless interface, and it wouldn't even make a respectable attempt at the S2110 laptop. @Peter Judge - Thanks, that means a lot to me coming from...

Status Update, Vista to XP Retreat (Advance?)
Blog Ah well, it's not the worst mistake I ever made - the Core Duo CPU, larger screen, and built-in camera and microphone are really nice. Or is it because of the AMD Turion 64 CPU and associated chipset in the S2110?

Fedora 11
Blog Now, to be fair, this is only an Atom-based system, but as it is a pretty well equipped dual CPU Atom system, I suppose this means that I wouldn't be rushing right out to put Fedora 11 on a netbook. But if you have a netbook, with either an Atom or...

Three SMALL Linux Distributions
Blog Although all three of these small distributions concentrate on minimizing the CPU, memory and disk requirements, you will be surprised at what they include. The first thing you need to do when you start considering small Linux distributions is...

Blog While the laptop is built mostly from standard components, such as the CPU, graphic controller and display, audio controller, network controllers and so on, those components may be put together (integrated) differently by each different...

HP Pavillion dv2-1010ez Entertainment Notebook
Blog I was particularly interested in the Neo CPU and Radeon graphics; the 12.1" 1280x800 display seems wonderful after working with 1024x600 netbooks; both network adapters are a bit on the weak side (I would prefer Gigabit wired and Wireless-N); the...

Dual-Boot Ubuntu and Windows XP Professional
Blog As always, I have started this on the older "test" laptop, a Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook S2110, which has an AMD Turion 64 CPU. I have taken the next step in setting up my Ubuntu working environment, and maintaining access to XP on my laptops for the...

Ubuntu on Fujitsu Lifebook S6510
Blog In particular, the Intel Core2 Duo CPU, Mobile Intel 965 Express graphics, and the 4965AGN WiFi interested me - without all of them working properly, I could not even consider changing my primary laptop to Ubuntu.

An Impressive Week with Ubuntu
Blog This hardly seemed like a "fair test" to me, because it is a laptop (I have not had good experiences with Linux on laptops before), and especially because it has an AMD Turion 64 CPU (I would prefer to be "conservative" and stick to Intel-based...

Some Days You Eat the Bear...

More Pleasant Surprises with Ubuntu
Blog It will be interesting to see how it handles the Core2 Duo CPU, the Intel Wireless-N networking, and the built-in Logitech webcam. As I continue to test and work with Ubuntu, I have come across a few more very pleasant surprises:

openSUSE Installation, DVD vs. LiveCD
