I have an LG A1 "Dual Express" notebook that I bought here in Riyadh a
few months ago.
It also has a PRPD (pseudorandom pointing device) and it has nearly
driven me to the point of spazzing out on several occasions. Other
than that it is a great litte laptop. Since it has an external USB
device I

Should work fine, I have ran Plan 9 on 600E and 600X for years... they
can still build a kernel in under a minute if my memory doesn't fail
me (certainly not much more).

I know, that's why I reported them. Chording with a touchpad is
something you could show at a circus.
I'm running low on three button mouses too :(

These are concrete assets. I know at least one other laptop user (I
have an old Compac Presario 900, he has a newer Acer or some such)
that manages to trigger the touchpad without touching it. Very, very
annoying. As for the Windows
I don't think the virtual to physical mapping provides as much

My understanding of the way it works in Linux (in the default
Intel configuration) is that the 4GB virtual address space is split
into 2 areas, the upper 1GB being a direct mapping to the

Linux is an utter porker. ubuntu on my T23 is really awful, I fixed it
by turning most of it off.

But I've had a lot of work lately, so I've fallen into the lunix dark

Actually, since you mention it, a Toshiba Libretto is one of the
'modest' machines I have Linux running on:

In fact I think linux has become more and more bloa... I mean resource

It is impressive what we did with so "little"... 3d modelling, raytracing...

last week i added 1gb RAM to my previously 512mbyte lenovo (3000 N100) to stop
the linux system from thrashing. all i run directly is firefox and drawterm.
the system was fine at 512mbyte until a few weeks ago (when more updates
arrived).

it should be fine.
I could well believe that Vista would struggle on anything less
than a Cray, but Linux isn't *that* demanding is it?
I had a look at the T22 specs and they seem pretty respectable to
me, at least compared to some of the systems I have Linux running
on (eg 64MB, 266MHz Pentium MMX).

I'm looking for a laptop that will run Plan 9 native and not sacrifice
too many of its features in the process. High resolution screen and
supported Wi-Fi (possibly add-on, in which case, please recommend a
product and a source) are particularly desirable assets, audio would
be nice.
I won't mind
