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.
PCMCIA is the standard for laptop expandability, and our systems come with
full kernel support for all your CardBus and PCMCIA cards, including hot-plug
loading of the firmwares on many newer CardBus cards. This gives our laptops
capabilities including:
2nd ethernet cards,
upgraded wireless ethernet (802.11 a/b/g) cards,
SCSI adapters,
CDROMs,
PCMCIA Zip drives, and
Clik! drives.
