Thursday night, after I presented at Bay Lisa, the President of
LinuxCertified, Inc (www.linuxcertified.com) came up to me about the
possibility for his company to get involved with OpenSolaris. Along
with education (as implied by the name) they also sell Linux
"Workstation Replacement" laptops. You can imagine what types of
workstations they might be replacing. He's interested in supplying
laptops that are also avalible for OpenSolaris, preloaded and all that.
He wants to find someone in the Bay Area that would be interested in
helping him get this going. Sounds like he's prepared to lend or give a
laptop to whoever is going to help. No doubt the point would be to work
out or around any driver issues on the laptops and provide a suitable
OpenSolaris image to be pre-loaded on 'em.
If your in the Bay Area and interested in this come forward and reply to
this mail on list. We'll organize and see who can help out and then
hook up with him to get things rolling. That way we don't have 4 or 5
people mailing him seperately and confusing the whole thing.
There was no word about cash, so figure that if you get anything out of
this it would be a free laptop loaner for a while. Don't expect
anything more.
You can see the laptops they sell here:

Most of them are Intel, both 32 and 64 bit, but they do have a nice
Athlon64 2800+. These things are Ferrari's, but they are well price,
and won a nice award recently:
