Well, to summarize the hardware:
intel centrino with a Marvel Yukon 2 ethernet adapter (linux sk98/sky2 driver), standard centrino wlan (i doubt I will need it), 1024 MB Ram, a S-ATA HDD and a supercool (attention: irony) ati x600se with something like 256 MB Ram (dont ask me, if those are really 256). (Works on linux via ati and framebuffer drivers)
As I would like to have a development environment, can anyone tell me, if BeOS/Zeta will boot on it and if, point me to the right direction (if Zeta - YellowTab main office is 10 km away from here 
)
Thanks in advance :oops:

I think BeOS is out of the question unless you use the RAM-limiting patch on bebits… 1gb + 256 video is WAY too much to successfully run BeOS.
I suspect the x600se is not going to be supported - but I could be wrong.
The SATA controller may work if the BIOS supports a "legacy" mode for backward compatibility.
Does this cover the network chipset?:

You’ll probably have more luck with Zeta.
(oops, sorry for the double-post, I thought I was editing my previous post)
hmm, i have a …36 chipset, not …01, ok, i think i will check if zeta will work. Hopefully they still provide a livecd …
Thanks for your reply
