I would check out the Sony Vaio SZ series... it's a Core 2 Duo (dual core Intel), has a DVD writer, can go up to 2GB of memory and has a 100GB disk option and isn't too bad at around 4 pounds. It's not cheap though. :) The guys at the Sony Style store were fine with me booting up a Belenix LiveCD on it. cheers, steve -- stephen lau // stevel at sun.com | 650.786.0845 | http://whacked.net opensolaris // solaris kernel development
