Re: VPCZ133GX - which system

 

Hey,

No problems here with 12.10 desktop on my VPCZ13. I use the following extra packages:

bumblebee - for realtime powering down NVidia GPU and running optirun command to enable GPU for some games.
fingerprint-gui - for fingerprint support (sudo using your finger).

Cheers,

Wouter

Hi

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and it seems to work out tof the box at least
with Intel card on my Z12.
I believe that any recent distribution will work.

Hi,

I've been using my Vaio with Gentoo for quite some time (almost 2
years now), but I've got some lib conflict and stuff and decided to
reinstall the system to a less hassle one.

Which one should I choose? I won't use the default KDE/Gnome/XFCE/WTV
so this is not a question about preferences, or start of a flamewar.
I can handle any Linux. I'm looking for a distribution which should
run "out of the box" with some tweaks.

I'm looking at Ubuntu (maybe server edition to avoid bloatware) and
OpenSuse.

Do I still need to go through some special installation procedure
like it used to be the case 2y ago?

The best answer would be: "I'm using Suse - here are the installation
instructions, this and that is not working."

Thanks
zalun
