You may want to try a live Ubuntu Linux CD. Ubuntu Linux is based on Debian and with the live CD version you don't have to install it to your hard drive. If all your hardware works with the live CD, then its a good chance it'll work with Debian Sarge.Good luck!Goldinero

Hi,The best way to do it is install linux on the second or third partition...When you install Linux it will automaticaly create a dual boot system...This means that when you boot your system it will ask whether you want to go into the linux or windows O/S,This also means that if there are troubles with your linux install then you can google the problem through your windows internet explorer...But please make sure that you backup all your important files before doing this guys cos they cannot be retrieved if you install on the wrong partition as linux does not work under the ntfs file system and so will change it...

wireless adapter for Ubuntu 9??? what works?Installing Linux On My Laptop

What wireless adapter would work with my Sony Vaio laptop? I have installed Ubuntu 9.? and have not been able to find a wireless adapter that works with it.  Called Linksys and they said none of theirs do.  Looked at website and found somebody ecstatic over the Belkin F5D7050 ver. 4, went to CompUSA site and found an Ubuntu 8.10 user rhapsodizing over the Belkin F5D7050, but when I called the Belkin tech support line, they said it would not work with Linux.  What do I do to get a working wireless adapter?SincerelyKC
