Hello,
I'd like to buy an Acer Aspire m1610 for a very convenient low price,
but before this I want to know the Debian Etch compatibility on this
pc. Have someone had an experience in this way?
Thanks very much.

Remigio

Don't know but if its hot-off-the-press, remember that Etch isn't. By
the time Stable becomes Stable (as Etch did a year ago), it doesn't take
long before bleeding edge hardware requries a newer kernel.

Therefore, you may find that the Etch installer doesn't detect
everything and you'll need either Lenny or Sid.

Suggestion: burn the netinst.iso for Etch and try booting it on the box.
Go to a shell and look at the dmesg and check syslog for errors.

Doug.

Maybe you can use this:

On what hardware architectures/systems does Debian GNU/Linux run?

Debian GNU/Linux includes complete source-code for all of the included
programs, so it should work on all systems which are supported by the
Linux kernel; see the Linux FAQ for details.
