[ale] Linux and Laptops.

[Geoffrey]

I've got a Dell Latitude cpxj 650 here that was at one time a dual boot. 
  Has the port replicator too, all works so far, although I've not tried 
to get the video in to work yet.  As a matter of fact, it's dual homed 
with the nic in the port replicator and another in the pcmcia slot.

One thing I don't like about this thing is it comes with an ls120 drive 
that can be swapped with the cdrom, but you can not use both at the same 
time.  That sucks if you've got to install from a floppy/cdrom combo..

But, it's since found it's way to 100% linux box and is much happier... :)

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
