I need the laptop to: (1) hold the "X-developer" canned distribution (MB???), (2) compile quickly (pentium100 is adaquate, but how much ram (16-32)), (3) connect to random network links (i know thats a tough one, what I mean is modem/PPP and ethernet, not necessarily simultaniously) BOTTOM LINE___ ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR CHEAP/QUALITY PC LAPTOP HARDWARE CAPABLE OF RUNNING FREEBSD. I would love to hear from folks on this list who are already running from laptop, who may email me directly if they like. Thanks in advance. ......................................................... andrew perkins apsolid@white-eye-alive.org 925 fell st. #2 www.white-eye-alive.org san francisco 415.739.0540 radience is bliss .........................................................
