They provide good support for Open Source projects (Linux Kernel!) -- this must be honored, and Linux simply runs on every IBM Laptop I have seen so far without any pain. However, I spent a couple of days already just installing fucked up Dells and Compaqs... I do not know of any real support by them for the Open Source development! (Maybe they provide servers, but common, this is just a gadget. Real support is development-man-power) However, it's up to you! wbr, Lukas PS: And it's like everywhere: You get what you pay! -- Lukas Ruf http://www.lpr.ch http://www.maremma.ch http://www.{{topsy,nodeos}.net,{promethos,netbeast,rawip}.org} Wanna know anything about raw ip?
