Please let me know the most economical gadget given my needs which are Whats important: a. X should preferably not need closed-source hacks b. I'd prefer networking that just works with the standard kernel c. as long a battery life as possible - 3 hours at least, more if possible d. should not heat up e. lightweight f. cheap, cheap, cheap :D Whats NOT important: 1. Gobs of RAM: For that I'll use a separate server 2. Raw CPU horsepower/virtualization: For that I'll use a separate server 3. Large disk space: For that I'll use a separate server and NFS 4. Multimedia: For that I'll use a separate desktop Usually I work in Fedora/RHEL and am happy in terminal mode - mutt, irssi, elinks,vi. I use X largely for OpenOffice, Pidgin and Mozilla.

Re: [ilugd] Advice needed: which notebook
I guess if you can wait, wait for Netbooks which will soon start shipping with NVIDIA Ion graphics processor. The ATOM + Ion combo just rocks. Offers HDMI and 1080p kind of resolution and affordably priced in $400 price ~ 20k - 25k.

The 6-cell version gives about 4-5 hours of operation with WiFi turned on. But the hard disk was 80GB as opposed to 160GB on the 4-cell option. Price was great, Rs.20,400/- inclusive of tax and 1 yr warranty. Ubuntu works out of the box, no tweaks needed for display or any other devices. Web-cam, Wifi, Bluetooth, audio and special buttons all supported. Hope this helps.
