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?
