[Solved] Acer 5630 - Linux Mint 9 Isadora

[noel_ca]

I recently installed Linux Mint 9 'Isadora' on my desktop computer. It installed without a hitch. Goodbye Microsoft!
3 have three questions:

1. I want to install Mint on my Acer Extensa 5630 laptop. I read some articles see (attached) about Linux on Acer Extensa 5630.
I have the latest versions of Linux: OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Mint, etc. However, I must admit I am skeptical about removing Microsoft from my
laptop without doing some extensive research. Which Version of Linux would you suggest I install on my laptop

2. How do I determine what model of Acer Extensa 5630 (EZ, G, ect.) I have

3. How do I activate the Games in Mint? I clicked Menu -> Control Center -> Clicked Games -> Checked all the Games Check boxes.
The check marks vanished no games were installed or activated.

Do your research,i would suggest Mint or Ubuntu if you don't want to remove windows just dual boot.

On a label on the computer,do a Google search,check Acer support

Find Gnome games in the package man. and install,Hope this help

Thank you!

I want to use Linux Mint 9 'Isadora' exclusively. So, I am researching all the pros and cons of installing it on my laptop.

I have a Acer Extensa EX5630 laptop.

What is 'package man'?

I found Gnome-Games package and installed it. Games are working. Thank You!
