Dual boot laptop

[jsundquist]

Ok so I just bought a Toshiba A65-S1066 and I am looking to do a dual boot with a linux of some kind.

Specs-
2.8 Ghz
512 DDR
60 GB hd
ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 IGP
Atheros AR500AG Wireless Adapter
RealTek RTL8139/810x

What would be your suggestion for a dual boot. Im thinking either Slack, MDK, Fedora, RH, or anything else someone might suggest otherwise. Let me know because I have no idea what would support the things I need. I really want support of the wireless card for sure.

You've got 2.8 GHz - I recommend Gentoo. Support for hardware is the same for all distro's, though some present it in a different way (eg Suse's yast).

Dunno if the 802.11 something is the same as yours, but maybe this comes in handy.

Gentoo, Fedora, Mandrake, Suse, Knoppix, and Ubuntu should work well on it. As for the wireless, you may have to use ndiswrapper to get it to work.

Mandrake has worked well on my laptop and my understanding is that 10.1 has even better laptop support (particularly wireless, haven't had a chance to try 10.1 yet though). Of course that's just the only one I have a lot of experience with, so I imagine the other ones would be fine too.

yeah I am looking for 802.11 g support.
