Re: Hardware Driver
What drivers?
For NVidia, you should first install the ELRepo repository. See
https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResou ... positories and http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php
Then, install utility to check which version of the Nvidia driver you have to use:
See http://elrepo.org/tiki/nvidia-detect

Thank you very much. Drivers like, chipset, audio, lan etc on mainboard. I usualy download latest driver from HP website and stored then install , in windows. But I dont know how install hardware driver in linux for first exp.
Re: Hardware Driver
Most drivers comes with linux, so unless you have a
problem, there should be no need to install anything.

Re: Hardware Driver
No computer manufacturer supplies drivers for linux on laptops, well not standard general purpose ones anyway. You either get a driver for your hardware with your linux distro or you find a third party who supplies one for you (like ELRepo) or you build it yourself (not recommended on CentOS).
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
