Howdy all,
I'm looking for an extremely Linux-friendly laptop to set up as a
traveling demo system. The laptop has to have a wireless card, as I will
need it to run in ad-hoc mode so that it can act as a wireless AP for
other devices.
The system is going to serve DHCP and tftp to wir
d all his books for his business on it.
Have you considered booting the laptop up with a Knoppix disk and
offloading the data to a network share? Or is the laptop itself dead?
