Hey, folks! I've been reading the list for quite some time, and have Debian Potato up and running on my Macintosh PowerBook G3 (I've been a Mac and UNIX guy since 1985). Your advice has been invaluable. Now I'm going to take another plunge, and I'm looking for some advice. I want to purchase a new notebook computer. I'm looking for it to be my main box, and I want to use Linux as my OS of choice. Since this box won't have to run MacOS, I have a wide range of platforms to choose from. So here are my requirements: I run all of the standard internet apps (web browser, ICQ, e-mail, news reader, etc.) as well as C++ IDE (Codewarrior is my choice for now), PERL, and Java. I play very few games, but do what I can. I also use the computer for word processing, spreadsheets, and graphics viewing and manipulation. The ability to hook up my Palm, Rocket e-Book and digital camera are also nice. Physically, I'd like something super slim and light. I don't mind having the CD-ROM drive be an external device. I'd like to have the modem and ethernet built-in, though. The larger the screen size, the better, but I realize that I may be tied to the 12.1" TFT. Oh, I'm willing to spend as much as $2500 or so. So what are the suggestions out there from people who are successfully running LINUX on a box with these characteristics? I'd love to hear from you. And what accessories and configurations are recommended? Thanks in advance for all of your thoughts, Chris -- The plan was simple.
