Mine is a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600, and it's lovely. Only a celeron 650 but runs gentoo, and only gentoo, flawlessly. Everything works, and it's a dream physically to use. The work one is a Thinkpad R40e, and it's horrendous, truly awful. A P4m 1.8, so it's speedyish, but not what it should (it feels slower than my laptop). The Radeon chip and ATI agp work nicely with development X (4.3.99-13). What makes it truly awful to use is the horrid keyboard, and mouse button placement, but that's probably because I'm comparing the layout to mine, which is so nice. Oh, and I can't get any sound, I think it's the hardware volume buttons. - -- Mike Williams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/l9n6InuLMrk7bIwRArPaAJ0fnFTZBhtFJEKjzXz03BQ7kI1rTACfQe2p p7D3UYFsgeDGArhXe/jRR7Y= =AXH/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
