[OT]Suggestions for a Notebook
by Sthitaprajna 27 Apr '03

27 Apr '03

Hi I am looking to buy a notebook(my first one) and am sort of confused. The sort of specs I am looking at are (for a minimum): 1. 1.7 GHz Celeron 2. 256M RAM(expandable to quite a lot) 3. Some sort of 4x agp 4. 30G hdd 5. Internal combo cd/dvd/writer 6. Should be decently compatible with *nix...I will be on a LAN, so modem support is not really important, though it would be a plus if it were supported. My budget would be something around $1200... Can listers suggest a few models/makes that have decent support in India? and any other points that i need to be aware of before buying?

hi-- The Dell Inspiron and Toshiba Satellite (which I own) are good buys for that price.I dont know about the availability of both those though back in India.Dell sells laptops here in the US only thru their website. they have good support for Linux.I have Mdk 9.0 running on my Toshiba Satellite 1400-S105 (1.2GHz celeron,256 megs ram, 30gb hdd, Intel EEpro ethernet card,CyberAlladin-T video accelerator card).The internal modem doesnt work on Linux.but i have no issues otherwise. also you might want to think about the Apple I-book, the entry level ones are sub 1000$.how about installing Linux PPC? regards -Nikhil >I am looking to buy a notebook(my first one) and am sort of confused.

Greetings, Shouldnt we include a topic on how to search for information when giving workshops? For example explaining how to use google.com to find the information on how to setup a modem, how to install some software, etc. This will help the newbies to help themselves and enjoy the hacking experince. Bye. -- Amish K. Munshi In GNU we trust.
