Hi all.... finally .. i know the feeling of using an alienware machine. I still cant belive it. I m from Guatemala - Central America, and belive me it was a long long waitting for this amaizing laptop, to came here (talking about almost 1.5 months)

The thing is this:
I would like to install GNU/Linux Debian on my laptop. I have been searching for any documents or information over the intertnet but there wasnt any helpfull docs.

Any one that can share his experience related to this topic. ???
Thanks for the feedback.

I have dual boot partition on my Sentia (ver. 1)
1st boot - Slackware 9.1x
2nd boot - Win XP Home

Slack works great with my Sentia, with the exception of the Intel 2100 wireless which seemed to have gotten stuck at the beta stage of driver development.

Intel 2200 seems to be coming along faster compared to the 2100.

But I use wired connection to the LAN when on Linux anyways. :-)

* i3041 is asking for pictures, bro.
If you can, post some. There are others in this forum fiending for that next shot of the new Sentia.
