I happen to have got in my hands a Compaq Notebook 100. It has a CD, fd,
and the stuff like that, including sound. Check Compaq's site for
details. XFree works without much screwing, the screen is only 800x600,
tho. The machine pretty much works pretty ok without too much hacking
around.
Another of my friends has a Compusa Amerinote, and that has similar
specs. He said it was very easy to get working. I'd probably say from what
I heard, the Amerinote may be better. Remember to check the linux for
laptops homepage, www.cs.utexas.edu/~kharker/linux-laptop/
