It has supported components and is speedy enough to play DVDs with its 8mb S3 Savage video card. I run debian unstable on it with a 2.4.17 kernel in both wired and wireless.
You can find them at ubid I believe (or they were there at least) for under your cost point. BTW, my T21 has a 800mhz PIII, 256mb of memory, and a 20g ibm hard disk drive. Memory for the T21s is pretty cheap these days. I bought a 256mb memory module for under $75. -- Michael Perry | "Do or do not; there is no try" Master Yoda [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.lnxpowered.org
