Submitted by the_old_nyx on Thu, 01/12/2005 - 08:53.
i just bought my acer laptop it's aspire1692 and i thought that now i can be free from windows and start learning some linux but after a while i was socked i was trying to work with knoppix live cd the latest one and it didn't work so i thought it's because the cd or the the version it self so i tryed to burn another cd and i didn't work too so i tryed fedora live cd and nothing works so i tryed to install it but it didn't work too i send email to acer helping center in dubai and they replayed that acer don't support linux only support the handicap windows...
