Hardware compatibility

[pi4r0n]

Hello all

I did not know where to post this so I did it here if this is wrong place please move to another topic.

In few months time I am planning to but laptop DELL XPS M1330. I have search on Google and found out that this laptop is quite good with Slackware 12 but I would like to be able to run BackTrack 2 and in the future BackTrack 3

My question is as follow: Has anyone been able to test this laptop on BackTrack 2 if yes I would appreciate you comments guys 

PS I noticed that quite a lot of people on this forum asking for hardware compatibility; maybe it would be good idea to open new /separate topic for them.

Thanks in advance for you help and comments

Cheers

That would be why we have a wiki with HCL on.

The problem is, whilst it is well documented that it is there, it is not used as often as it should be.

OK THX 4 that balding_parrot

So What I can do now is just buy this laptop (DELL XPS M1330) and test by myself

PS. I have tested 3 laptops which are not on wiki list and have some comment. To whom can I send them to apper on wiki.

1. Aristo Smart 250D

pi4r0n comments - Runs fine with no extra parameters.
* No problem with booting
* IPW2200 can enter monitor mode
* IPW2200
* Packet Injection with IPW2200 is possible

1. Dell Inspiron 640m

pi4r0n comments - Does not run fine.
* No problem with booting
* Monitoring mode all right but no no packet injection is possible

Do not rememebr 3 one but will get is soon.
