[QUOTE="95BlackGA, post: 3250389, member: 576452"] I need a distro of Linux . I need it to have a distro that is compatible with my laptop, and is easy to get connected to a wireless network. I have both FreeSpire and Ubuntu. On Ubuntu, the wireless adapter is not recognized, and I can't get connected. On FreeSpire, the wireless adapter is recognized, all I had to do was enter in my password for the network, BUT my video isn't supported. It gives me a desktop that is too large for the screen, so I can't see everything on the window. My laptop : Everex StepNote NM3900W Operating System: Genuine Windows® XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, Ubuntu Linux, FreeSpire Linux Display: 15.4" WXGA Widescreen (1280 x 800) Processor: 1.7GHz, Intel® Celeron® M Processor 390 Memory: 980MB DDRII 533 Hard Disk Drive: 120GB PATA (4200rpm) Optical Drive: DVD-RW/CD-RW Dual Layer Front-side Bus: 400MHz Graphics: S3® Unichrome Pro (64MB shared memory) Audio: AC '97 with Built-in Speaker I/O Ports: (1) DB 15-Pin VGA Port, (3) USB, (1) Microphone Port, (1) Headphone Port Modem: (1) 56K data/fax modem LAN: (1) 10/100 Base-T Fast Ethernet Wireless LAN: Built-in 802.11b/g (Atheros AR5005G) Pointing Device: 2 Button Glide Pad [/QUOTE]
