Hello,
I am thinking of buying a IBM ThinkPad 755CD and want to know if Debian
Linux 1.3.1 ( which I just ordered) would work well on it (graphical/ CD
ROM/ sound /etc. support)
here are the details that I do know about the 755CD:

If this computer will not work well with Debian Linux 1.3.1 I would not
buy it, but I found it at what I think is a good deal ($695, w/ 850Mb hdd,
and docking station) and though it would make a good portable programming /
work horse. (I'm a computer science student at USM, we program in C++ using
Emacs/G++/DDD )
thanks in advance for any suggestions / advice....
Ken
