About my 300MI received my 300M August 29, 2003. It came pre-installed with some crappy operating system (Windows XP I think it was called). You'd think after paying $1500 for a computer, they could ship it with a decent operating system, but no, I had to put linux on it myself. So, here's what I got:
I started with a RedHat 9 installation. Later, I wiped that and installed Fedora Core 2. Subsequently, I have upgraded to Fedora Core 3. Follow the links below for my installation notes of each of these steps. Since it's such a promiment problem, I have a page dedicated to ACPI and DSDT concerns on the 300M. |
