RE: Tochiba Satellite 2590CDT and Linux
Personally I'd recommend getting one that can display at least 1024x768 on it's own screen - 800x600 is very limiting (unless you're doing text only). As for a better machine - we use HP and Compaq here. Some HP machines are very flimsy (3000), the Compaq ones are well built but expensive. personally I wouldn't buy either! cheers ~~ simon -Original Message- From: Brian Servis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 14, 1999 4:43 PM To: debian-laptop@lists.debian.org Subject: Tochiba Satellite 2590CDT and Linux First time poster to debian-laptop, be kind, =). I am in a quick rush to get a laptop!!! Yeah!! Like TODAY or TOMMOROW. I will be of course installing Debian and will need use it to dual boot to Win9x, yuck. The Satallite series look really good for the money but what about compatibility? It uses the Trident Cyber9525 video chip which is supported by Xfree86. The sound is the ESS1978S chip which I didn't see mentioned in the kernel docs, but it seems like the ESS chips are all pretty similar. The video is only 800x600 on board but can go to 1280x1024x256 external. Any advice is appreciated or suggestion to go with someting else.

I very much agree on this - 1024x768 is very nice, but usually rather expensive... I have Dell Inspiron 7000 with a 15" screen and I like it very much, although it's a bit on the heavy side. So if you don't mind a bit of size and weight I very much recommend it. ATI Rage PRO LT chip set, supported in latest XFree86. Sound card is ESS Maestro 2 - beta support at best, but I can listen to my mp3s and that's really all I need ;-) > As for a better machine - we use HP and Compaq here.
