I use it when I travel abroad ... if someone steals it, I can always get a replacement. And it don't seem to have trouble working with source code -- kernel hacking and u-boot on a remote machine.

Well I have Lenovo W510 + big LCD for serious work ( = many terminal windows with many VIMs opened ;-) ). But still, for remote work, the device is fine. Though once you get used to high-end ThinkPad keyboards, you'll cetainly have trouble adapting to anything less-high-class. Otherwise, the device is light so easy to carry with. Now that I have U-Boot which can be used without serial console (I have both LCD and keyboard working there + USB too), I can hack on the device itself with no external stuff ;-) M -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
