Slashdot recently had an interesting discussion about this laptop. I learned
that all Sony laptops support only the operating system they are sold with.
BIOS may prevent installation of a different OS and Sony doesn't provide any
drivers. If this is true, I will never buy a Picturebook.

 Okay, so if you've got $4000+ sitting around and can wait until after
their
 October release, this baby, while nowhere near a subnotebook in size or
form
 factor, will be an awesome laptop for anyone that wants to replace their
TV,
 DVD, VHS, Monitor and Desktop PC with one laptop.
 
 Built-in DVD-R recorder!  TV tuner!  5.1 Sound with Remote control!!
2Ghz,
 512MB, 60GB, 16.1 screen!!!
 
 aaa!! drrl!!!  o!!!
 
 drĂ´le ? do you mean funny ?
 I have now a GRX316, as workstation, only 256MB, 20GB, but DVD
 with Cygwin Xfree, and always the Libretto on the side, as file server,
 HTTP server, GeneWeb server
 It is quite different from the Libretto, but, as I become old, a large
 screen is very nice.

[LIB] CT100 Serial access while travelling

2002-07-14 Thread Mark H.

Date: Sun, 14 Jul 2002 19:09:42 -0500
From: Mark H. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: CT100  Serial access while travelling

Is there a compact way to make serial connection to  a CT110 when traveling (like Palm 
sync and GPS data uploads)? I don't want to take my dock along just to make the 
connection. I had a CT50 and there was a small port bar that came with it. Is there a 
similar option for the CT100, or possibly a PC Card option?

I am sure all of you shopped around before deciding on your purchase. So,
what is your opinion about Fujitsu P-series?
P-1000- About the same size as L110, 8.9 touch screen.
P-2000- Somewhat larger, 10.6 screen, DVD
Both have modem and Ethernet and promise an excellent battery life.

Why do you need a serial connection?
For Palm HotSync, you can use IRDA.

External modem ?
you can use a PCMCIA modem

Other device ?

Does the Libretto (100/110) have the ACPI feature in the BIOS ?

They don't support. True.
But BIOS let you install what you want.
And you can find help with the usual Linux mailing lists
and downloads from all Linux sites
