Does Linux* run on Intel® Centrino® processor technology-based systems?
Linux will run on any Intel® chipset-based platform including laptop PCs.
Availability of Intel® Wireless drivers for Linux*
Intel does not support 3rd-Party Linux* WiFi or WiMAX drivers. Please refer to Download Linux* Drivers for Intel® PRO/Wireless Network Connection for Intel's Linux drivers and a reference to open-source community sites working on development drivers.
Availability of Intel® Graphics drivers for Linux*
In general, many Linux* distributions already include Intel® graphics drivers. If you are looking to update your driver, Intel recommends checking on availability and obtaining precompiled driver packages from your Linux distribution vendor or computer manufacturer. Support for these drivers will be through your Linux distribution vendor or computer manufacturer.
Intel provides development drivers for Intel® integrated graphics to the open source community. These development drivers are intended to provide the Linux* developer community an opportunity to improve and provide feedback for the driver. Driver source code can be obtained from public source code repositories.
If you are looking to compile or upgrade the Intel graphics drivers for Linux on your own, information on how to obtain the development driver source code from public repositories can be found in the Download section of http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org*. Support for this driver is only available through the open source community, specifically via mailing lists and forums. These drivers are intended for use by technical Linux developers.
For a list of drivers currently available for components of Intel Centrino mobile technology (i.e. Intel® Extreme Graphics drivers) refer to the following link: Drivers
