I want to buy a laptop (second hand is my first choice). I want some
strong point on it, reliability - I want to use it for a long time
(excluding battery) so I don't need broken hdd, excessive heat, noise,
etc.
I don't need performance, I will use it only for some pdf read and
browsing.

What is a reasonable work-around or solution for capturing the debugging

IBM's X series are 12.1 only which is outside your 15-17 suggestion. If
you want a cheap X series laptop preferably go for the X32 - it's faster and
newer than the X31 and has a 2.5 hard drive. The X40/X41 are very OpenBSD
compatible but have a 1.8 hard drive (slow, expensive, difficult to

Thank you for your answers. I was amazed that IBM is having the top
place - my only experience with IBM was using an expensive server
which decided to blow up the electrolytic capacitors from the
motherboard after one year.
Since my concern is reliability I will stay with IBM T series then

I don't need dual core since the support for this is scarce in many
operating systems.
With respect, scarce in what operating system apart from say, DOS?
I can't think of any Unixes or Unix alikes that don't have SMP support (even
Plan 9 does). OS/2
