If you want anything else you need to ask specifically. And more is the chance that your favorite model won't be OS free. I recently got an ACER E-Machine e-727. And I had to make the retailer understand that I wanted only that particular model, nothing else. My laptop had Moblin on it but I didn't even see how it looked. Just popped in Lucid and formatted the HDD. But if you go looking for a mainstream model, there're very few with freeDOS. And almost none with Linux. Now could a new user have a fully configured Linux Laptop with a mainstream Distribution? Perhaps I'm dreaming a dream 10 years early. -- Regards, Vaibhav Dalvi “Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.<http://thinkexist.com/quotation/dream_as_if_you-ll_live_forever-and_live_as_if/194378.html> ” James Dean *Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
