AMD > Mem : 258 Mo or more Minimum 256MB, more if you plan to use things like VMware. > HD : 15 Go or more Minimum 20GB, more if you plan to carry a lot of music, video or other large sized stuff. > Screen : 14 inch or more The 14 inch displays are fine for most work, but if you plan to do much in the way of Graphics Design, X-based games, etc...visually detailed stuff the 15 inch makes a big difference. The systems with 15.7 and 16 inch displays are tanks (very heavy), but those display's are way cool! > DVD Most new systems can come with a DVD/CD-RW combo unit which is awesome, and not too much of an additional costs. But, if you don't plan on watching DVD video's, there's no sense in the expense. Just get the CD-RW drive. > One Lan adaptator If you won't use it much and can save a few bucks on a system that doesn't have it integrated, that's a good option. You can add a PCMCIA NIC easily. But, if you're on LAN's much, the integrated NIC free's up the PCMCIA slot(s) for use with other stuff. > Graphic : Radeon or ???? If you plan to use/install woody and stay true to that release, check the XFree86 4.1 supported cards and stick to those. > > I would like use all features as multimedia keyboard, ..... Huh? > Thanks > Thierry No problem...keep in mind that these responses are purely based on opinion. jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User
