Xandros Linux conquers a hostile Sony laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| I have an impressive talent for buying laptop computers hostile to
| Linux. Right now I'm using a Sony Vaio VGN-FS840/W, with more
| proprietary drivers than you can shake a stick at. It's so bad that
| even a retail edition of Windows XP won't run on it; you need the
| OEM Windows (and sure enough, Sony is too cheap to include the CD),
| or you need to go to the Sony support site, download all of the
| drivers, and make your own supplement CD.

| But at the same time, SuSE, which I've used loyally for many years,
| couldn't triumph over this miserable Sony box of mine. Xandros
| didn't hesitate for a moment.
