I'm considering trolling ebay for a cheap laptop. I'm basically interested in setting up a portable c++ compiler/debugger (work on code on the train sorta thing).... so I'm mostly thinking of getting something I can slap a bare-bones debian system (supporting hds, floppies ferinstance, but probably not networking.. no email, or games) onto
so, here for the FM pointer requests is there anything I should read that might discuss danger hardware to avoid? is there anything I should read that might discuss basic laptop hardware that's easy for debian to deal with? is there anything I should read before attempting to purchase a laptop that could help in my decision-making process? is there anything I should read before installing if I've only ever installed debian on a desktop computer? -Alice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
