I'm thinking about buying myself a laptop on which to run Debian. It'd have to be used and relatively inexpensive, as I'm in college and have no money.
Anyway, I was thinking that a laptop 486 DX/4 100 with 16 megs of ram ought to run ok, considering that I probably won't bother trying to run X -- I live in Emacs anyway. My concerns are things like PCMCIA drivers and things -- I'd need both a PCMCIA modem and an ethernet card. Are there problems with either of these devices in linux/Debian in general on laptops? Are there any other concerns I should have about running Debian on a laptop?
