** Reply to message from Larry Blodgett [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Sat, 24 Feb 2001 12:40:48 -0600 What are the preferred laptops for installing Mandrake? Cheap ones! Seriously, I've had good luck with a couple of Thinkpad models. In fact, there is a topica (www.topica.com) mailing list dedicated to installing Linux on Thinkpads. Appropriately, the list is called "linux-thinkpad". John LeMay Jr. Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC, LLC. [tag] Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

I installed Mandrake 7.1 on a Toshiba Satellite 1605 (cheap), works great. Also seen it on those Dell Inspiron ?7500s.

Seriously, I've had good luck with a couple of Thinkpad models. I've had pretty good luck with my Toshiba. In any case, go to the laptop page mentioned earlier here on the list (or do a google search for 'linux laptop', or go to http://www.inficad.com/~rustyc/bookmarks.html and go to the linux section where I reference (possibly with broken links, sorry) some laptop pages. In other words - be CERTAIN that it supports linux FULLY - read all the details! rc Rusty Carruth Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: (480) 345-3621 SnailMail: Schlumberger ATE FAX: (480) 345-8793 7855 S.

I love my ThinkPad A21e. 15" LCD @ 1024x768, 512Mb/10Gb, added a Lucent Orinoco wireless card. OSS supports the Intel soundcard and the speakers sound incredible. I get around 2 hrs of batt life with hardcore work (lots of disk and constant music streaming over the wireless LAN). It recharges in maybe 30 mins. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mandrake detected all the hardware, and only thing I had to do is make sure the ALSA sound driver was loaded. Run sndconfig just after logging in as root, and completed some minor setting up in X Windows, and thats all it took. The Laptop is running a Celeron 466 MHZ cpu, with 128 MB ram. Don 73 de kk6wj
