I picked up an HP OmniBook 800 a few weeks ago specifically to run Debian. So far I'm delighted. It has only an 800x600 screen, but for $1000 it's sub-4 lbs, tiny, has a full-size keyboard and TFT display, 2+ gig drive, 2 meg VRAM, 2 PCMCIA slots, and detatchable floppy and CDRom (not counted in the weight). Only 16meg of RAM, with another 32 about $70 and $64 $160. 1 year warranty. For battery life I'm getting about 3 hours running in console mode and about 1 hour running X. The server is the NeoMagic one just moved from binary-only to a free part of XF86. It's done everything I've asked of it so far. --Eric House +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | from the desktop of: Eric House, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | "The instructions said 'Win98 or better' -- so I installed Linux" | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
