I think Bayard hits upon a very good point here. If IBM can't justify selling Linux pre-loaded on laptops (and I understand why) then how about selling Thinkpads with no OS? Surely this is the next best (or for us geek types a better) thing. FWIW, I've had about 6 laptops so far - 5 Thinkpads and now a Sony Vaio Slimbook. Most of the Thinkpads were employer owned and I must say that most ran Linux w/o to much trouble (back to the 755 I think), the one glaring exception of course was the MWave modem. I'd also much rather be using one today (that is if they made an Athlon version :) --rdp -- Rich Payne http://talisman.mv.com ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
