Hi all,
I would like to announce a CentOS on Laptops initiative. The aim is to allow everybody in the community (and on this mailinglist) to document their own experience with CentOS on their laptop (on the CentOS wiki).
The goal of this initiative consists of 2 parts:
- help and convince people with their own CentOS on laptop installation
Are you nuts? CentOS on laptop? Why you want to kill torture people in such a cruel way?
Joy
Because some people may actually want to run a stable OS that will have patches released for quite a while. Fedora is not an option for most business people who rely on their laptops every day. Torture is installing the latest Fedora every 6 months and hoping something doesn't break. Some would say Fedora users are nuts.
I'm actually using CentOS on 2 laptops, and I have really few issues: on the newer one (a Lenovo) the only thing that doesn't work is sound (I know the newer alsa drivers would work, but I'm too lazy to install them: I'll wait for the updates) but it isn't a big deal: I'm using it for work, and I don't need sound My old crappy asus instead is just for watching movies attached to an external flat lcd tv and it's doing his job wonderfully (even if it has some issue with the integrated monitor) So maybe I'm nuts, but I'm happy with not having to reinstall everything every 6/12 months.
