i think toshiba devices work great. according to what the others
said about linux on laptops i would recommend checking google
for exactly your box and the toshiba linux support pages
(linux.toshiba-dme.co.jp/linux/).
don't know your tecra but with my nearly new portege almost
everything works - including softmodem, wlan, lan and x.

don't think so. i did a more general splitting of the harddisk with
fdisk from a dos bootdisk, installed win xp on two small ntfs
partitions, made one with fat 32 for sharing between os'es. while
installing linux i made up my linux space with cfdisk.
