I've had excellent results with FC on Thinkpads lately. Both on my older X20 (which recently died) and on my current T42. The t42 has built-in blootooth, wifi, NIC, 1400x1050 screen (yeah, odd resolution), etc. All supported very nicely under FC3. As well as dual-head support (laptop LCD as head 1, VGA out as head 2).
I do something similar, I run DHCP, tftp, and a few other services in the field to boot machines over the wire and install an OS to them. Works great. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Kenneth E.
