With the recent update I now have about 5 choices when my laptop starts up.
How do I remove some of those old versions?

I am using a Toshiba Portege M400 (3G) which has a 12" screen at
1440x1050 and uses Intel 945 graphics, core2duo 2GHz. I think everything
works (including finger print reader) but I have not yet tested the
built-in 3G modem. I had some performance issues early on, but it looks
like they are all fixed with the latest BIOS (3.5) on this machine. Wifi
works, onboard ethernet works.
It's a tablet device so has a flip around screen and stylus (and spare
stylus) if that's interesting too.

It's not too hot actually when running both cores at 1GHz. Sensors say
it's 33 degrees C right now and the hdd is 35 degrees. I am running
gutsy on it, but have previously had feisty.
I have no idea how much it weighs, but it's not too much and the power
brick isn't massive.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Al.

well, I have a two year old Tsunami Traveller and it is a 12.1" 1.7GHz
Pentium M.
When I boot up the PC, I'll send you guys a few weeks of temperature logs.
A few weeks ago it hit 102ºC, and since then I've been recording them.
I'm guessing that there is some unknown bug with the kernel and my
Eth0 card (realtek), because when I used it CPU tends to use more
cicles, and eat up.
While using PowerTop, I could see that even when unpluged eth0 was one
of the top responsibles for wakeups.
