Thanks to everyone who responded. I have purchased Thinkpad R61, for better or worse. Keyboard light, trackpoint, excellent keyboard and solid construction swayed me. Sending this email from Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD. Still wondering if I should install Ubuntu or Debian. I do not want to get caught up in upgrade cycles but the work that has gone in to simplify/beautify Ubuntu is definitely attractive. Debian may require some homework before it is fully tuned to my choice but may be less work in the long run.. Sorry, I just got lost in thought. Definitely do not wish to start any distro wars. > Web search also did not come up with any instances of anyone ever > having `reclaimed' the M$ tax in India. Has that ever been attempted? I started this experiment today. -- Manish _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
