[CS-FSLUG] A Year Without Windows

[Nathan T.]

Maybe I can get some help with this.

I graduate from high school in June next year, I'll finally be free :-D

I shouldn't *need* Windows any more at that point, I should be able to get
rid of it, but bad experiences trying to get Linux to run on my laptop are
keeping me from trying that again even now that there are new releases
about.

Is there any helpful advice that might encourage me to try it again
sometime? The hardware is supported well enough except for the touch pad
which was good in SUSE 10.0, but not so in Ubuntu, and of power management
didn't even work under SUSE 10.0.

I want to know that if I put Linux on that thing it will scale the power
consumption just as well as Windows does if not better and that it will
hibernate when the laptop is closed and come back to life when the thing is
opened back up again. Windows could do this for a while, I want Linux to be
able to as well.
