Beschreibung:

Background: I have been using my laptop since 2010, all the time Debian was installed on it. It also works with older kernel versions (I started off with Debian stable in 2010, but am now running unstable).

Sidenote: the wifi card and graphics card do work when using drivers from the Debian nonfree repositories, although 3D performance is still not very good.

Sidenote 2: I have updated all hardware components of this notebook on the wiki separately as well, apart from the sound cards: I did not test those.
