I second that. Linux-only since... uh... 1995 or something. Second-hand thinkpads (with two exceptions: one eee-PC (was good, for the time) and one Lenovo Ideapad (not so good, but my employer insisted), both new. Currently I buy them at a brick-and-mortar store in my city specialised in refurbished gear. Some markup wrt technofeudalist stores, but friendly folks who know what they're doing, so worth my support every cent. Cheers -- t
