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.

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.

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...

Some Days You Eat the Bear...
Blog The Lifebook S2110, which can sometimes be difficult because of the AMD CPU and ATI graphic controller. and some days the bear eats you. Sigh. Today was going to be a good day. The Fedora 11 Beta was released yesterday evening, and I had already...

Mandriva One 2010 RC2
Blog The other two were both AMD CPU / ATI graphic systems. The first of those was my Fujitsu Lifebook S6510, which is a pretty standard Intel Core2 Duo CPU / 965 graphic controller based system, so I don't see why the hardware would confuse it.

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...

Thoughts On Windows Driver Updates
Blog But now they finally have a newer model, the S6520, which has a newer CPU, graphic chips and wireless network interface, but nearly everything else is the same. I've been dealing recently with the rather messy situation involving device driver...

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...

Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) Beta
Blog CPU Frequency Scaling works on the VIA C7-M CPU (HP 2133 Mini-Note), without having to edit the kernel boot line. I've been installing the Karmic Beta release on everything I have around here, and the news is generally good.

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...

Blog Fujitsu Lifebook S6510: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, Vista SP1, and a built-in Logitech webcam, Realtek audio and integrated speakers and microphone, it was ready and up to the task. I got a very nice example this evening of how all of the things I have...

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.

openSUSE 11.0 First Impressions
Blog I also opted for the 64-bit version, since the two laptops I am planning to test it on have an Intel Core 2 Duo and an AMD Turion 64 CPU. I have downloaded and installed the new openSUSE 11.0 release, and my first impressions are generally positive.

Vista Memory Leak?

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:

Fedora 12 Alpha and The Moblin User Experience
Blog HP 2133 Mini-Note (VIA CPU and Graphics): Unable to boot the LiveCD, it doesn't seem to like the Chrome 9 display adapter. Over the past week, I have installed Fedora 12 (Constantine) Alpha on several of my computers, with generally good success.

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.
