[wellylug] Linux compatibility question: ACER Aspire 1355

[Lyndsay Mountfort]

Another great source of information is booting from a live CD, such as 
Knoppix or Mepis. I can definitely recommend Mepis Linux (Debian 
unstable based). You can test many things this way, including winmodem 
and ACPI.
