I've installed Debian on both a Toshiba Satellite 220CDS, and a
Toshiba Tecra 740CDT. The 740CDT has an LCD that will do 1024x768
with XFree86, BTW - it's gorgeous. The 220 CDS will to 800x600, but
since it's dual scan, it's not NEARLY as pretty.
As someone else mentioned, I had to install off of CD in order to get
PCMCIA support, to get network support. But the CD only cost $10, or
whatever, so it's not too big of a deal in my mind.
Later,
Dale
