Well, I'd have to definitely recommend the Toshiba Libretto. It's components are fairly standard (aside from size and form factors <g>), and the laptop itself is freaking small, about 8x5x1 inches. I have an older model, the 50CT, which I got for about $600, although those are hard to find. Mine came with Windows 95, which immediately got removed and overwritten with Linux. My older model only has an 800 MB drive in it, but since it uses standard drives (small standards, mind you), I'm about to order a 6.4 GB disk from a third party to install (yes, internally) and then I'll probably run FreeBSD, Linux, and who knows what else. <g> George on Tue, Apr 06, 1999 at 07:44:01PM +0200 Johan Mårtensson <balrog@swipnet.se> wrote: > I'd just want to start by thanking you guys for the greatest OS that was > ever made.
