I don't know about your cable modem-thingy, we Germans are more the ADSL kind of guys, but the Linux/Debian-support for the IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad series is outstanding. A minor drawback is the support for the ATI graphics adapters, but newer models seem to use Intel and NVidia anyway. > I don't need an expensive one. Perhaps an anti-glare, anti-reflex > screen is needed because I'll have to read a lot. You won't get those terrible displays with Lenovo, but on the other hand you'll have to pay for it. If you get lucky, you can find a cheap notebook with great Linux support -- but with a Thinkpad you don't need to search. If I had to buy a new notebook right now, I'd check that there's much Intel in it, because they actually pay people to develop (real) open source drivers. First of all that's an ideological argument, but despite that I find it that their drivers usually just work. pgpyOAB9pxFgJ.pgp Description: PGP signature

Multilevel-menu for awesome
Hi! I'd really like to give awesome (the window manager) a try, but I'm missing a multilevel-menu. The awesome-menu app itself is pretty neat, but sometimes I find the right application by poking around in a categorized menu (thanks to Debian's great menu policy). I tried 9menu, ratmenu, deskmenu, but they all provide only one level. I want something like the menu fluxbox provides. But that's not a standalone app, is it? Do you know any? I wouldn't even mind installing a small window manager to use its menu, but I don't know any that provide a standalone menu that works with other window managers. Any suggestions appreciating, Tobias pgpbghqPaaKsv.pgp Description: PGP signature

I'm using a raw disk image for my DOS-VM, which I can mount with these mount-options: /home/foo/dos.img /mnt/vm auto \ rw,loop=/dev/loop0,offset=32256,noauto,user 0 0 I'm not sure if the offset is needed. But when I had the same problem a while ago, I stumpled across lomount[0], which seems to be a part of Xen. All it did with my raw DOS-image, was mounting it with the above options, so I assumed lomount redundant for my case. YMMV. Maybe for a FAT32 filesystem the options are different. If you mount an image this way, be aware that changes the guest makes are not immediately available. I'm working around that by remounting the image everytime I need a "new" file. HTH!
