I have an old IBM 385ED, works dandy... Modem and ethernet are external
(pcmcia or via serial/paralel ports), just gotta make sure there's a FAT16
partiton for the hibernation file (the size of your installed RAM)... Only
issue I have is BIOS limits HD size to 5.1 GB.
Friend's got a couple of Toshiba Satellites he got through work that work
just as well, same approx. size, same pointer (eraser in the middle of
keyboard), same screen size..

Greetings fellow Debianers...
I was hoping I could get some personal opinions here. I currently
have Debian running on a server in my house, and a Macintosh
notebook. I'm now looking to fire up a PC notebook with it, as well.
I'm looking for recommendations as to what brand and model I should
look for (or stay away from). I don't want to spend more than $800
for the beast, so getting something that is new is _not_ important.
I would prefer something with an active matrix screen, built in modem
and ethernet, and CD drive. And the smaller and lighter the better -
but certainly not the most important consideration.
And I _won't_ be running Windoze on it.
Any thoughts out there from your experience?
Thanks,
Chris
