Re: What's your favorite inexpensive Linux laptop?
my fav so far is the IBM thinkpad 240. the winmodem is even supported,
and easily so by using some drivers lucent put out. it's got an ess
solo1 sound card, which is well supported already. sure the screen might
be a bit small for some people...
but, i got mine for $700 maxed out with ram, and they only weigh 3
pounds.
(other laptops i've used linux on.... kiwi opennote 166, thinkpad 365xd,
thinkpad 600, and the thinkpad 240 is by far my favorite of the bunch.)

!!Greetings fellow Debianers...

!! I was hoping I could get some personal opinions here. I currently
!! have Debian running on a server in my house, and a Macintosh
!! notebook. I'm now looking to fire up a PC notebook with it, as well.
!!
!! I'm looking for recommendations as to what brand and model I should
!! look for (or stay away from). I don't want to spend more than $800
!! for the beast, so getting something that is new is _not_ important.
!! I would prefer something with an active matrix screen, built in modem
!! and ethernet, and CD drive. And the smaller and lighter the better -
!! but certainly not the most important consideration.
!!
!! And I _won't_ be running Windoze on it.
!!
!! Any thoughts out there from your experience?
!!
!! Thanks,
!!
!! Chris
