I have Debian 2.0 running quite happily on my IBM ThinkPad 365XD. I know it's an older model, but it works great for me. (I'm using it now.) > Also, is the palm pilot worthwhile or just a fun gadget (thought I might > ask for one when I start ;)? I use my PalmPilot Personal alot. Especially in university for keeping track of my schedule, projects/assignments, and grades. It's also great for those boring, fall asleep type classes (a little game of klondike or cribbage can keep me entertained for a class or two.) *grin* I haven't played much with the unix tools for it (like pilot-link) though. > Any info much appreciated. No problem.
