This might be a bit over Dave's price range, but it's on topic and of general interest.
PC vendor Lenovo has promised ThinkPads with pre-installed Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 for some time now. Lenovo will deliver the goods the week of Jan. 14. T61 will use an Intel GMA X3100 GM965 on the motherboard. The starting price for this system will be $949, $20 less than the same laptop with Vista Home Premium. http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS3449833487.html I'd buy one in a flash if I had enough spare money to hand. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell
