Subject: Re: Linux on laptops
    I can vouch for MEPIS! I've been running 3.4.2 on my pavilion since it first
came out, and I installed 6.0 beta2 (MEPIS/Windoz XP dual boot) on the 
Fujitsu PII 750Mhz I'll be sending out to my son in NE. 
    This whole laptop thing is getting interesting! I picked up an old Micron PII 
300 that really seems to like Vector 5.1 SOHO, and DSL 2.4rc2. Next project 
is an IBM i series 1300 (Cereron 700) that is laughably preloaded with Windoz 
2000 which by itself fills almost HALF of the tiny 6G HDD!
    I have to admit I'm a little disappointed with Xubuntu as it seems a little 
buggy on the older hardware, but it's still pretty new and I haven't tried it 
on any newer hardware.
    ...Oh well, back to distrowatch.com...    Stu
