This is off-topic, in that it's not Debian-specific, but it's relevant
to people wondering what kind of laptop they should get. I've had
good experience with Debian on my Sony VAIO, until now.
The hardware broke, it's a US model, I'm in the UK, and Sony's
international support really really suck

Hello all. I recently bought a used laptop of the type listed in the
subject line. I was able to install Debian via floppies for the base
system and the rest via pcmcia ethernet card and ftp. However, I
can't get X to work. First of all, the laptop
Hi,
the last weekend, I've installed Debian on an portege 3020ct. I've done the
basic-install from a dos-partition. Now my problem is:
How can I mount my PCMCIA-IDE-CDROM (Freecom)? A "normal" IDE-device I would
mount with /dev/hdb or something like that, but what's the device-name of a
PCMCIA dev
I happen to have had some (insider) info into the tech support world of
SONY and you are correct. The support stops for all practial purposes once
the Vaio leaves the states. Having been one of those people that say
"Hello, Thank you for calling Sony, this is **, how may I help you?" I

Hi again!
Some days ago (uh, weeks ;) I asked if someone knows these ethernet-cards.
Noone did so i decided to try ist out. I read something about an older model
that seemed to work so my risk was not that much.
And ... it worked! In fact, it worked right out of the box. I already had the
cardman
