Discussion
I've tested both Trisquel (7 Belenos) and Mint (17.2 Rafaela w/ Cinammon) on my LifeBook.
Trisquel: mostly worked ok, although wireless network is not supported, and consequently created rapidly growing log files until I used the hardware switch to turn off the wireless chipset.
Mint: seems to works fine, although I'm struggling to get the internal microphone working too.
Hi,did someone get working fsc buttons with linux mint? I've tried to compile ad install the driver with no success
Installation of debian wheezy was a breeze using usb stick.
Google and Download: “firmware-iwlwifi_0.36+wheezy.1_all.deb” place it inside the Firmware folder of the usb stick. I have not tried the fingerprint reader.
I've installed Fedora 11 on a Fujitsu T4215 Lifebook. It was preloaded with Vista and I tried to create a dual-boot system, but ran into problems, so I wiped the disk and did a clean install with the Fedora 11 DVD, accepting virtually all the default settings. It booted up right away, and 95+% of everything worked (even the SD reader, which did NOT work under Vista). I've encountered problems getting the built-in microphone to work, and getting the “Suspend” function to wake normally. I haven't tried the finger-print reader, PCMCIA, or SmartCard reader. My technical level on linux is moderately low. Overall, Linux is a great improvement and I'm very happy with the results.
