Will installing linux on a brand new dell Laptop void the warranty?

Posted on August 5, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

I plan on purchasing a dell inspiron 1525 and want to put fedora 9 on it. I have a live cd for fedora. I want to know what the best way to remove the windows OS without removing any of the drivers I might need to run the laptop (ie. keyboard, disk drive and any other if they exist) and if by doing this I void the warranty. Im pretty sure that im not voiding the warranty because the warrentys general cover hardware issuese not software right? I don’t have this laptop in my possesion at this time.

Ubuntu Netbook Remix Install on Acer Aspire One?

Posted on July 21, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

hi. i have an acer aspire one netbook which i have decided to put ubuntu linux on as i dont like the linpus lite that comes with the acer. i am new to linux and so dont fully understand it. i have a bootable usb drive and the acer can run ubuntu as a live cd but when i try to install it i just have a full screen terminal come up with a message saying that ubuntu comes with no warranty. if i type in install and then hit enter it says ‘missing file operand’. if somebody knows why this is or if there is another command that i must use to install it please let me know as i am stuck at the moment. thanks.
