That might explain some things. I haven't yet had the opportunity to install linux on a laptop. The only laptop I have is a winbook XP5 486dx with 4mb of ram. It barely runs windows 95 and has no cdrom. Oh well I used it while I was in the electronics program at DeVry in Kansas City and I used it to program my Motorola HC11 microcontroller. (I still have that too--maybe it will make a nice collector piece)
