Abstract:
Getting GNU/Linux to run on your desktop machine has evolved grown simple but the same can't necessarily be said for notebook/laptop installations.
The specialized hardware of notebooks, including the dominant need of wireless, and ACPI usage like hibernation has left GNU/Linux users at somewhat of a disadvantage. This talk/presentation will explore the specialized needs of notebook computers and what utilities are available to leap the chasm in discovering what hardware is under the hood of notebooks and how to get the right drivers/modules in place.
