Just joined the list, as I acquired a PB170 on Saturday via the Swap list. It's my first portable computer (other than a Handspring Visor) and I'm planning on installing Linux on it (or at least attempting it) so I can continue my adventures in learning programming on the road, as they say. It shares a 400MB SCSI hard drive with my SE/30 (acquired in the same Swap) and will soon be semi-online via the SE/30. I'll be posting soon with the results of the Linux experiment - the 170 isn't on the list of supported systems, but it's worth a try... -Leigh -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
