Re: Laptops!

Mike, What bug?  I'm using a VAIO since my last dell died.  It makes a
good little XTerm for ssh'ing to a heavier box for mail, etc (my Vaio is
only a P2 with 96Megs)  The only problem with the booger is the cdrom
and floppy are usb, makes debian installs a bit of a problem, or did
with Debian2.2, haven't tried 3.0.
