Although you can get all that running. I watch movies with mplayer on
it. On the laptops, I have wireless working, though I had to install
MadWifi drivers from MadWifi's site. Sound on many of these laptops
won't work with the CentOS alsa drivers, but in each case, I've gotten
it working with the atrpms. Same with webcams, and actually, I think
Ned just did a wiki article on them, he's gotten really into them
lately. :)


(Sound and wireless CentOS wiki articles are also there, depending upon
hardware--Most of the Acer stuff is mine.)
