Toshiba A135 S2386 Laptop and Linux?

Well, I have the mentioned model and would like to install Linux as second system 'till I find myself good enough to "leave" Win. Anyway, I need some idiot guide or maybe someone who already did it on this model. For the begining at least all the drivers to work fine not to have any conflicts, later i will find what i need. I do have couple of extra devices (Logitech Web Camera, USB Bluetooth and USB mouse) but i do not worry about it since I can live without it . So If anyone can help me with some Idiot guide how to install as a second OS here please let me kno, or better if some of you already have driversfor this model I would appreciate(even do not know how to install drivers but hope will manage to do so ...

I was thinking to install Fedora but have heard that Ubuntu has much bigger driver and community support!

Any advice will help...

Thank you,
Djordje

That's the report page for the Laptop Testing Team's findings on that particular model (exact model is A135-S4467 not A135-S2386 though, not sure what the difference is).

I recommend using Ubuntu, it's a solid distro, and a good way to get your foot into the Linux world. I haven't used Fedora much myself though, so I can't compare them.

As for drivers, most of them should already be built in. Try loading the Ubuntu LiveCD and see what works out of the box.

Oh, and, if you are trying Linux with the intention of eventually leaving Windows, I recommend getting rid of Windows as soon as you can install Linux, you'll learn and switch much faster if you don't have a Windows installation to go back to.

 

i will check thi out for this model i think that are pretty the same ... Thank you for the information.
