i've had 2 IBM thinkpads in a row and i've been very happy with the hardware support under linux. my latest is an IBM T30, which is basically a "Desktop replacement" laptop, except it weighs under 5 lbs. it has onboard wireless, onboard ethernet, (unsupported under linux) onboard winmodem, 1.8 GHz p4, ATI Radeon, 40 gig hdd and 256 megs of ram. aside from the modem, everything works really well under linux, and you can get a new one for about $1500. the laptop's exterior is titanium, which means it feels (and is) really sturdy. -- Fred Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Divided Sky Internet -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
