Hi Gerald, [EMAIL PROTECTED] can help you. He runs an ISP with national coverage. He uses SUSE himself so setup/support should not be an issue. I'd use his ISP but I'm on ADSL so no need for dial-up.
Not sure of his personal company email address so use his personal one above. If he's on-list I'm sure he'll correct it for me. Laptops. I've got a cheapie Pioneer (1.2Ghz PIII, .5Gb Mem, 20Gb HDD, Mandrake 9.0 and netbeans (java IDE) runs zippy. Built in modem which works! LAN, sound average. Speed excellent cost just over $2.1K). I'd recommend it if you're going to be near power (power sucks big time - literally), otherwise, spend an extra grand and a bit and buy an IBM Thinkpad with a similar spec. Or two and buy a Tosh. Another option is an ibook which run debian well apparently. I would imagine that battery life will be a major issue. Anyone else with experience of Linux laptops and good battery life?
