Hi Folks,

My boss (thesis advisor) has decided he needs a laptop to drag around with
him, and after careful thought (thanks Nate) we've settled on an IBM 560C. 

I could probably sort out how to install FreeBSD on this, but I'd much
rather just buy the thing pre-set-up from some vendor somewhere.  

Any suggestions?  Either we pay someone to do it or I have to figure it
out.  (I'm going to go have a look at the web page and see if I can
understand how tough it really is...but I really don't want to do it.)

Thanks,

Brian
