Which distro should I use?

[Moderate]

I'm using a Toshiba Satellite L505D-GS6000. I've seen several posts about Toshiba Satellite's, but nothing for my particular model. Those all have Intel's, I don't.

 

This is bad.

Someone please give me a hand here. Thanks.

Use the iAtkos S3 distro, it works for me with the hardware in my sig.

After a whole month, i'm still clueless as to what to use.

 

Anyone feel like helping yet? Or you could simply read the topic, and not take the thirty seconds out of your day to help me out.

Instead of waiting for the research to be done for you, why don't you just download as many of the "distros" as you can, and try each of them. For the most part, we will just be taking educated guesses as to what will work for your system unless you have something that many other people have. So your best bet is going to trial and error.

 

Maybe an even better route would be to look at your individual components and build your own image to install from (ie.. on a thumbdrive)
