[ale] new laptop time ... need suggestions

[Christopher Fowler]

I've been debating aobut purchasing a 2nd laptop and making
it an iBook.  But emails like the one below just convience
me that an nice laptop running Linux is a far better value.  I've
got a ZE1250 and I've got all the hardware working except the modem.
I'm using a Linksys PCMCIA 802.11b card too.  Works great with
RH9.0
