[snip] Toshiba may be linux-frendly, but some of their laptops aren't. I have a (today old) Tecra 8200. Is 4 years old, but still a wonderful machine: 1Ghz, 512Mb RAM, 60Gb HD, with a small problem... the d___d display. Uses Tridentmicro Cyberblade XP, that ***can*** give 1400 pixel resolution, but as trident micro never released the documentation, the Xfree driver shift the screen 5mm to the right when in 1400 mode... and it seems that there is no way to get it fixed. so, my recommendation: beware of Toshiba laptops, and test them with either Live-CD 9.1 or Knoppix before committing to it. ===== Riccardo G.
