[SLE] Still Notebook Shopping
Everyone who gave suggestions with the Dell Inspiron 3800 - thank-you! Now, I have another notebook I'm looking at, the Toshiba Satellite 550 MHz Celeron Notebook with 64 megs of ram, Dual Scan 12" LCD, 6 gig hard drive, etc. that is mentioned in the CompUSA ad for today (if you happened to read the ad today). Anyone have any experience with it and Linux? It looks quite nice, and it's price tag at Best Buy is merely $998. Is it too good to be true for a Linux user? -Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R. Butler Universal Networks Information Tech.

I can't speak to that particular model, but I have a Toshiba 2105CDS with SuSE 6.3 and 6.4. Toshiba makes their own PCI bridge chips for use with pcmcia. My Linksys 10/100 pcmcia card worked okay with SuSE 6.3 but not SuSE 6.4. David Hinds, maintainer of pcmcia at sourceforget.net, does not recommend Toshiba laptops at this time. I wish I would have known this before I bought mine. I would search usenet and http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/ for this laptop before buying. For what it's worth...
