Linux on Samsung X10 XTC 1400 Notebook
and all necessary setup on a Samsung X10 series notebook"

I am a proud owner of a Samsung X10 series notebook. It's the slimmest 14" notebook of the world and weighs only 1.8 kilograms.
Even if it's designed for Windows XP and comes bundled with the home version, I decided to try out linux as an alternative
operating system. Google gives a couple of information about installing recent versions of linux but since I don't like SuSE Linux or
Mandrake I gave Fedora Core a try and made this documentation.
I installed and used Fedora Core 3 for a while and now I wanted to upgrade to Fedora Core 4 during a complete re-installation.
Since I don't want to quit playing games on my notebook atuniversity (like GTA San Andreas, it roxx!) I installed Windoze XP Proin
a 15 GiG partition of the 40 GiG harddrive. The remaining 25 GiG will host my new linux partitions.
Entirely seen the Samsung X10 is perfectly designed for using linux. The only problems are the ACPI functions because Samsung did
not use a standard implementation. So you have to use a fixed DSDT table to make ACPI (like monitor battery status etc.) work.
It isn't as complicated as it sounds - you'll see later..
To get the best out of your linux installation I suggest you to useSoftware Suspend2. It provides an excellent hibernate function also
called suspend-to-disk to quickly put the notebook into sleep state and wake it up again very fast. This installation guide provides
instructions for the setup of Software Suspend2 as well.
