I'm using an IBM thinkpad i series 1500 RR2, which means refurbished, but
most of the thinkpads do real well with Mandrake Linux. This system is
running Win2K and Mandrake 7.2 on a 12 GB harddrive, and have not had any
problerms with it.. I am using a pcmcia card that has both the ethernet card
connection, and modem (56K) connection on it. I realy use ADSL for
connection but used the modem while traveling in Europe. The thinkpads have
a track point system for the mouse, and three buttons to allow for three
button mouse, or scrolling mouse. Processor is a celeron 466, with 14.3" TFT
active matrix screen. These LCD screens won't get much higher resolution
than 1024x768. The 15.1 inch screens will get higher, but that also adds
lots more weight.
anyway Good Luck
