I dont have my laptop on hand at the moment, but i'll tell you the info on the chip later on.<br><br>I'm currently leaning on SuSE 10.3, downloading it now. I tried other distros that i had on hand earlier today-they're all pretty out of date because they originated before I left for the Army-and none of they worked any better.
