RE: What's your favorite inexpensive Linux laptop?
thinkpad 600/600e. IBM even has docs on how to get them working with
(redhat) linux, though you can sort out how to get all the bits, except the
winmodem, with debain from those directions.

I've been getting several interesting replies. Thanks!
Maybe I phrased this inaccurately, though. I think that I'm looking
for something along the lines of an older, _used_ notebook.
Something with great Linux support, where the various pieces (sound,
networking, modem, etc.) all work.
Since this computer will be at least a year old (from my guess), I'll
be able to get it for my <$800 price point...
Thanks again,
Chris

The plan was simple. Unfortunately, so was Bullwinkle.
