about this... i actually hold a 2Ghz Intel Centrino Laptop, with 1G of memory... hope this to be enough... the only thing i need is to test some matlab code when i am at home since i cannot connect to the central workstation at work where matlab is running on Suse-Linux moreover i have some little application like nokia-suite that is only for WS and Mac OS... thank you for suggestions -- roberto OS: GNU/Linux, debian sarge kernel: 2.6.8-2-386 KDE: 3.3
