[TriLUG] New Vista laptop needs Linux

[James Jones]

All,

My Christmas present came early. It is a Toshiba Satellite L305 series
laptop. The least expensive laptop that Walmart has on sale at the
moment ( $398 plus tax ). It is running Vista home. I wanted to see
how well it would run on Knoppix 5.1 cd, but each time I boot into
knoppix. Knoppix starts, gets into enabling usb, etc and then it
produces an error, "Can't find knoppix filesystem".

I tried a Centos5 live CD and had something similar happen.

Any suggestions? I really do want this laptop to become a dual boot
pc. If need be, it can become a single boot Linux pc.
