I can tell you that mandrake seems fine on a Compaq Armada M700, it has a winmodem lucent Mini-PCI, but lucent winmodems can be made to work now I believe.. They have a great screen to, I am typing this on one now... :-) rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of kenn yahoo Sent: Saturday, 17 November 2001 10:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] cheap notebook? i'm looking to install mandrake on a CHEAP notebook ... anyone have any suggestions on a good choice? unlike desktops, i have to get the component choices right from the beginning. thanks, kenn Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] cheap notebook?
what driver are you using for the linksys 802.11b pcmcia card? i thought that there were no linux drivers for it...? thanks.

There is a lot of support on the web for Linux on a notebook. I'm currently running it on a Dell C600 using a Linksys 802,11b wireless networking card that was no more trouble to configure than any 100 base card I've ever used. My purpose was to run a web and mail server here on my DSL line. No fans, doesn't take up much space, even has an integrated UPS (otherwise known as a battery). Neither web or mail server is particularly taxing on the hardware so I like the solution. 'd say go for it. Andy Miller Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] cheap notebook?
What are you asking? For a distribution or a specific laptop model? If this is of any help I installed Linux-Mandrake 8.0 on an HP N3215 running 475Mhz AMD K-6, 128Mb, 4Gb harddrive, and a Cyberblade graphics chip powering a passive matric LCD. The installation was great but there is no touchpad. I don't know if this has been solved or not but it might give you some idea. Just like with desktop software modem won't work for the majority and those that can require some work. Good luck.
