For 1024x768, a 12" screen is very reasonable; it keeps the total laptop size down, so I actually prefer it. A 14" iBook is available if you really want the larger screen. It is difficult if not impossible to find a screen and keyboard of the iBook's quality on any "budget" i386 laptop. -- Shields.

One drawback is that there does not seem to be any recognition that the power or brightness buttons are pressed; Linux does see the monitor as an HID device, and the buttons flash when you touch them, but HID events are not generated. Apart from that, it works great. -- Shields.

You can suppress duplicates using this example from the procmailex(5) manpage: If you are subscribed to several mailinglists and people cross-post to some of them, you usually receive several duplicate mails (one from every list). The following simple recipe eliminates duplicate mails. It tells formail to keep an 8KB cache file in which it will store the Message-IDs of the most recent mails you received. Since Message-IDs are guaranteed to be unique for every new mail, they are ideally suited to weed out duplicate mails. Simply put the following recipe at the top of your rcfile, and no duplicate mail will get past it. :0 Wh: msgid.lock | formail -D 8192 msgid.cache You might want to increase the cache beyond 8 KiB. -- Shields.

They should both work, but the silver supports only 40-bit WEP, while the gold supports 104-bit WEP which is less weak. Both should work equally well if you're using non-WEP access points. > Are folks getting > 802.11g throughput in addition to 802.11b? Note that the "Orinoco" 802.11g cards are entirely different from the 802.11b cards. The 802.11b versions are the same as the venerable Lucent "WaveLAN IEEE", which is extremely well-supported and is the same chipset as in the first-generation Apple Airport base stations and cards. The newer versions with a and g support use Atheros chipsets, which do not have stable Linux drivers. There are other chipsets that are supported under Linux for 802.11g; do some searching. -- Shields.

I haven't tried it, but you might look at one of these cards: http://prism54.org/supported_cards.php It sounds like good progress is being made there.
