looking at laptops

[Jason Hayes]

Thanks for the information. I talked with someone else this weekend and they 
reminded me that at the prices I am considering, I might also want to look at 
Lenovo.

Not sure why I didn't think of them befpre. They are pretty well known as 
being compatible with Linux. They have a smaller screen, but with a docking 
station it may work.

I will also look at tuxboxcomputers.com and ask about the Intel warranty 
program when I am shopping around.

Thanks!!
Jason Hayes
