https://gatewayt1628.wordpress.com/2010/05
Linux on a Gateway T1628 Laptop. Archive for May, 2010. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit. Radeon Mobility X1270 256MB Video. Did not test HDMI. ATI proprietary driver will not install or work with this version of Xorg’s Xserver, but there is some limited 3D support built in. I was able to play most of the 3D games that came with the distro, but not the Windows games I used to be able to play under Ubuntu 8.04 using the propritary driver. 8X Multi-Format Dual Layer DVDRW w/DVD-RAM. Built-in Audio and microphone.

New Project: OpenBibleDB | Tim Hawes
https://timhawes.wordpress.com/2010/03/27/openbibledb
Meanderings of a UNIX geek, programmer, and armchair sociologist. March 27, 2010. I have started a new project called OpenBibleDB. I had actually envisioned this project about five years ago. There has never really been a good Bible application that I have been very happy with, except for Crosswire’s Sword Project. Originally, I planned my project around PostgreSQL and it’s tsearch2. Files are going up today. Posted in: Uncategorized Tagged: Programming. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Debian 5.04 | Linux on a Gateway T1628 Laptop
https://gatewayt1628.wordpress.com/2010/05/08/debian-5-04
Linux on a Gateway T1628 Laptop. May 8, 2010 at 11:14 pm. Other than this, Debian works great on this laptop. I did not test the webcam, so I cannot report on anything there. Wireless did not work out of the box for either 32bit nor 64bit, but I got wireless to work for both, by including backports and then upgrading the kernel to version 2.6.29 or higher. Follow these instructions for using backports with Debian: http:/ www.backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php? Radeon Mobility X1270 256MB Video. You need to ...

https://gatewayt1628.wordpress.com/2010/05/08/ubuntu-804-32
Linux on a Gateway T1628 Laptop. Ubuntu 8.04 32bit. May 8, 2010 at 9:20 pm. This is probably the best distro I have tried on this laptop, in terms of getting everything working. Unfortunately, this distro has reached its end of life cycle. You can still download it from here:. Live CD: http:/ cdimages.ubuntu.com/hardy/daily-live/current/. Alternate CD: http:/ cdimages.ubuntu.com/hardy/daily/current/. The wireless will not work out of the box with 64bit version of Ubuntu 8.04. I am using Linux on Laptops.

CentOS 5.4 64bit | Linux on a Gateway T1628 Laptop
https://gatewayt1628.wordpress.com/2010/05/08/centos-5-4-64bit
Linux on a Gateway T1628 Laptop. CentOS 5.4 64bit. May 8, 2010 at 9:45 pm. Wireless will not work out of the box. Sound, and microphone work. Webcam does not work out of the box, but more than likely because there are no good webcam programs with the supported CentOS repositories. You will have to try to manually install the ATI drivers if you need 3D support (if this is a real need, use a different distro). Wireless did not work out of the box. Entry filed under: CentOS. Ubuntu 8.04 32bit.

NetBSD as a Desktop | Tim Hawes
https://timhawes.wordpress.com/2014/07/22/netbsd-as-a-desktop
Meanderings of a UNIX geek, programmer, and armchair sociologist. NetBSD as a Desktop. July 22, 2014. First of all, Linux is, by far, a more suitable desktop platform than any of the BSD UNIX’s. Including PC-BSD (which I love! The reason is simply that Linux has the whole suspend/resume, wifi, video acceleration thing hashed out. The reason Linux has this hashed out is not because Linux is superior in any way to the BSD UNIX’s. Linux simply has a much larger division of labor. So why BSD UNIX at all?
