Acer aspire 4310 driver for linux?
You wont need adriver for the hard drive, it doesn't really work like that, you install the os through the disk and then install drivers - if your hard ddrive isn't recognised it won't install at all and you'll have to remaster the disk (can be technical if you have no linux experience). Linux doesnt have drive letters like C and D it recognises the drives in a slightly different way so make sure you know which drive your writing on prior to installing anything.





My advice would be to try a live disk, if everything works how you want it to then take the dive and install it. A live disk gives you a taster of exactly what linux will be like on your laptop and any drivers that aren't present on the live disk won't be after the install so you also get a ytaster of compatability issues.





I'd recommend suse with kde or ubuntu, suse is much prettier and I personally prefer it but ubuntu has a massive base of followers and packed forums so you'd probably get more support with it, it's also slightlier easier going from Windows to ubuntu in my opinion, suse is much prettier though and isn't TOO hard to master.





I've provided links for live disks to both in my source.
Reply:most things just work in linux.





things that don't are video (very difficult to install) network cards, only hard to find drivers.





and anything else probably will work straight away, or never work





but drivers for what part of your acer aspire 4310?
Reply:Most Linux distributions will have all the drivers they need built-in. There is no need to download extra drivers.
