Samsung NP-QX411

[zuser]

Just purchased a new Samsung and happy to report that Fedora 17 installed and runs perfectly. Every feature and function I have tried worked straight out of the box.

I took a live KDE usb drive to the store and did a quick test before buying. Unit booted with no issues. As soon as I got home I replaced the hd with a another I had on hand and installed F17, did all the updates, extra repos etc. So far not a single issue to report.

Initial plan was to test for a week or so before setting up dual boot on original hd, however, now thinking I will stay with Fedora only


9/12/12 Update: Continues to work very well. Now have no intention to re-install original hd and set for dual boot.

That sounds really cool, not often you find wireless out of the box thanks to broadcom wireless nics. Can you post the output of lspci I would really like to see the devices listed there? And, can you tell me the exact model number: is it this one NP-QX411-W02UB?
