Nice machines, but way overpowered for the typical 'desktop replacement'. My Inspiron 2500 runs Debian and a ton of other stuff that your typical desktop doesn't really need and still came in at around US$1200. In hindsight, I should probably have got the integrated network adapter - but I've no guarantee that it would work, whereas I knew that the old 10Mbps PCMCIA card I had would. ACPI is still a disappointment on the 2500, though. derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
