Hi,

I need your advice/ opinions/ rants/ whatever.

I would like buy a notebook. I think even a netbook will do. Please
let me know the most economical gadget given my needs which are

Whats important:

a. X should preferably not need closed-source hacks

b. I'd prefer networking that just works with the standard kernel

c. as long a battery life as possible - 3 hours at least, more if possible

d. should not heat up

e. lightweight

f. cheap, cheap, cheap :D

Whats NOT important:

1. Gobs of RAM: For that I'll use a separate server

2. Raw CPU horsepower/virtualization: For that I'll use a separate server

3. Large disk space: For that I'll use a separate server and NFS

4. Multimedia: For that I'll use a separate desktop

Usually I work in Fedora/RHEL and am happy in terminal mode - mutt,
irssi, elinks,vi. I use X largely for OpenOffice, Pidgin and Mozilla.
The best thing about X is that I can open up so many xterms :)

So, guys, what do you think will be good for me ?

Thanks and regards,
-- Pai
