Work just give me one so I don't need to go to the trouble of speccing them. Hell, if you start getting techies to spec kit we might end up with something decent! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 14, 1999 5:08 PM To: debian-laptop@lists.debian.org Subject: RE: Tochiba Satellite 2590CDT and Linux On 14 Oct, Simon Ghent wrote: > Personally I'd recommend getting one that can display at least 1024x768 on > it's own screen - 800x600 is very limiting (unless you're doing text only). I very much agree on this - 1024x768 is very nice, but usually rather expensive... I have Dell Inspiron 7000 with a 15" screen and I like it very much, although it's a bit on the heavy side. So if you don't mind a bit of size and weight I very much recommend it. ATI Rage PRO LT chip set, supported in latest XFree86. Sound card is ESS Maestro 2 - beta support at best, but I can listen to my mp3s and that's really all I need ;-) > As for a better machine - we use HP and Compaq here.
