Gateway MX6440 Spec here

This laptop is a replacement from my Best Buy warranty. I really wanted another HP but they were all out so they gave me an uber upgrade instead. (Orig was HP ZE4560 AMD 2500+/512RAM which ran Kanotix like a champ)

5.0 installs fine.
The resolution is not perfect due to it being a widecreen.
The wireless card does not work.

5.01 runs fine from the DVD except it does not recognize my Networkcard (ethernet)?

In either version it cannot read my external USB drive formatted to NTFS. It says the Windows exited abnormally and to try rebooting. ?

I am not an uber hardware person so if anyone can read the laptop specs and give me some info that would be grand.

Anyway.

I tried Kanotix 2005-4 but it keeps flipping out at the start up sound sequence. It's sonds like the a CD skipping.

Fedora Core 5 runs like a champ. No wifi of course but it does configure the widescreen properly.

I will continue to post my progress here.
