lso. I have to admit to a bit of distrust of VIA overall for historic reasons around their issues with certain chipsets in the past. I still use VIA systems though to this day and I have one that I have carefully upgraded the bios on to mitigate any disk corruption issues. -- Michael Perry | Do or do not.

s to do the dual booting. Are you going to use LILO or the NT bootloader? I used to use the NT 4 bootloader and it worked. I don't do dual boots any longer so I don't know about XP but I think it would probably work about the same. -- Michael Perry | Do or do not.

e is no way to change things like sound or video which may require less fussing. But, in a way, fussing is learning and when you learn the correct answers, it ceases becoming fussing. When you can trade that knowledge for other pieces of knowledge like on this list, fussing changes to knowledge exchange :) -- Michael Perry | Do or do not.

T21's shipped with different screen sizes. The other things I really liked about the T21 family was the sound card in Linux. I think it ships with a Crystal Spectrum sound card. The T21s are older laptops but I think they run Linux really well. They have a lighter heft but the screen is gorgeous. I have also used a Thinkpad 600e. I had issues with it overall but it seemed to work most times okay. Just my thots though :) -- Michael Perry | Do or do not.
