[kenz]

Hi guys

yesterday i brought lenovo 3000 g430 [Free Dos option ] , i already installed windows XP on it , i need to install linux as dualboot on it

which are the linux distributions can be installed in g430....? [am looking for Suse 11.1 ,RHEL 5]

and is there any way to get the drivers....?

thanks in advance

SuSE 11.1 will be a very good fit for your laptop provided that you test the functionality using live cd versions of open SuSE 11.1

you can get them here .

Install linux from the same cd after you feel satisfied about using the live cd version

It should detect them.Try the live cd first.

yesterday i tried to install RHEL 5 in to my laptop....

but am not able to install since it is not able to detect the drivers.....

that means i can not install any linux version in my laptop..?
