[Bug 191871] Re: Live CD won't install on Acer Aspire 3050-1922

[Nelson Álvarez Sáez]

I remember I tried Fedora months ago, and it had the same problem.
Don't know about Arch. Acer laptops don't seem to be very
Linux-friendly. I eventually sold my laptop and bought a Compaq c700.
Ubuntu Intrepid works flawlessly on it. I'm amazed. I think I'm going
to report this to Acer, in case they take their customers into
account. The guys at Ubuntu are doing a lot to keep up with the wide
range of new computers being released all the time. I wouldn't blame
it on them if something is not working. I think we have to put the
pressure on companies like Acer and show them that their products
should be more Linux friendly.
