Posting it here since this page shows up on a google search for S10-3c and Linux:<br /><br />"S10-3c + Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse 12.1)<br /><br />Apparently the BIOS update for the S10-3c is incomplete if you download from the Lenovo website and you need to download the 3CCN16WW.zip file (found after a quick google search) and update the BIOS according to instructions below:<br /><br />1) Unzip the file<br />2) In the unzipped folder, click open the first folder and run the application. This is the American Megatrends screen, which updates the BIOS<br />3) Open the second folder, click open (as admin if using Win7) the executable file and flash your BIOS & restart. <br /><br />Note:<br />1) Best to remove any admin passwords, login passwords or any user specific passwords.<br />2) Incase you already have the 3CCN16WW BIOS update, there is no cause for worry or any reason to downgrade (if that's possible) since I had the BIOS update from the .exe file the Lenovo official page has online.<br /><br />An hour later, I type this from an 'updating packages' Ubuntu 11.04 :)JKamathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06382531460561363277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435266617173487253.post-45060572825293058862011-12-29T15:59:56.127+05:302011-12-29T15:59:56.127+05:30Thank you for your response and the links - quite ...Thank you for your response and the links - quite interesting!<br /><br />I haven't much familiarity with Linux (yet) and I was hoping to set it up and run with it this weekend.<br /><br />I'll post on any updates, snags, etc.<br /><br />Best wishes for the new year and compliments of the tux :)JKamathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06382531460561363277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435266617173487253.post-52383981467965374402011-12-29T15:42:35.365+05:302011-12-29T15:42:35.365+05:30My experience was that many of the function keys w...My experience was that many of the function keys worked after ideapad-laptop driver was included in the kernel http://sethanil.blogspot.com/2010/11/lenovo-s10-3-with-2636.html<br /><br />Wifi support is provided by brcm80211 driver included in the staging drivers in the kernel.

I ask because the earlier installation attempts with various newly released Linux distros (Ubuntu 10/11) were tough on me :(, most of them having issues with either the keyboard, the WiFi or other conflicts I didn't have time to read/research & rectify and I thought I'll get everything right before I try out OpenSuse 12.1 :)JKamathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06382531460561363277noreply@blogger.com
