Do look into hardware compatibility with the distro u would like to use though. Even if its a linux pre-installed system from Acer or Compaq. In an extension to the same topic, I'd picked up a HP DV1350 on my last trip to dubai, it turned out to be quite some effort to get linux working optimally on it...fedora crashed...rh9 could'nt detect half the hardware...it has a widescreen tft with a weird native resolution of 1280x768. However, ubuntu picked up most of the stuff nicely though getting the display to work was a [EMAIL PROTECTED] Eventually did get it to work in native mode but only via a 'vesa' driver. ________________________________________________ VHCS Webmail ------------------------ Yahoo!
