As being new to Linux (a disappointed Windows VISTA user) I found the following open issues on my
Laptop ACER Aspire 5920 with 4 GB RAM and 160 GB HDD (Intel Core Duo)
1. I lack the drivers to my two scanners (CanoScan LIDE 90 and IRIScan portable Scanner)
2. I am remembered that I have 271 updates to install but when I open the appropriate window and click on install, the system "hangs" indefinitely and I have to restart my laptop.
3. I cannot get my sound system to work. Whatever kind of sound possibilities I click on (includes the "automatic search") there is no sound. On XP or VISTA this is not a problem.
Can someone help? I would really like to switch to LINUX but if I can't get the system to work properly I probably would have to switch back to WINDOWS.
Thanks a lot for anyones help.
