All major hardware in our laptop and notebook systems is supported in Linux.
The EmperorLinux research
staff modifies all the popular Linux distros in many specific ways
to provide the best possible portable Linux distribution.
These include a customized kernel
(packed with driver patches and half the size of distribution kernels);
a chip-specific X-server with hardware acceleration;
full support for PCMCIA, USB, and
FireWire devices;
full support for 10/100/1000 (gigabit) ethernet and
802.11a/b/g/n wireless;
pre-configured power management; modem;
stereo sound; and more.
(There is extensive detail on the following topics in the supplied owner's
manual.) Detailed information about mobile wireless
broadband (EVDO, HSDPA, etc) and the Intel Core Duo is also available.
All this is done completely with GNU-GPL software. At EmperorLinux, you don't
pay extra for commercial X-servers and sound support, because we only use
laptops for which the hardware is known to be supported by truly free software.
Solid State Drives (SSD) are storage devices where the bits are stored in flash
ram chips, and not on physically rotating platters. Since there are no moving
parts, SSD drives are 2x-3x times faster than traditional 7200rpm drives.
They are also much more robust to high G-loads, and have a longer lifetime
MTBF than traditional drives.
