hi all,
i apologise if i am asking a q which is too naive.
here is the question:
i have been planning to work on linux from a long long time. being a
busy software consultant
i have never got real time to work on it. i consult in the area of
building secure web based extranets,
which has always been on windows platform. but i have given my tries to
it and installed linux on my personal
system(RH-7).
but as i said, i am a consultant and i move a lot. so i am planning to
buy a laptop. even though i earn good money,
but given the conditions now i cant spend more than 500$ on it(no, i
cant wait too). i checked many sites, and came to conclusion that i
should be buying a used laptop. but all those models run on pentium MMX,
with 32 mb ram and 8 gig HDD(i mean the ones that are within $600 price
range). i was just wondering whether that would be sufficient to run
RH7?? will it not be too slow? what features should i look in for a
laptop that i want to run linux on?
or do any of u guys know a good site where i can buy used laptop within
my budget? i live in boston. so if any of the local guys can help me
with some local seller addys..that would be very helpful.
thanx in advance.
akbar
