Quoting george parker <georgeparker20@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
After agonising over netbooks for ages I've just bought a Lenovo/IBM T42 laptop off ebay for Â129 + postage with a 3 month guarantee. I ditched the XP and installed Mepis 8.5 and it works perfectly. 1 gig of ram but only 37 gig hard drive. I must see if a bigger drive is available. I'm taking it camping to France and Spain next month so we'll see if it cuts the mustard. George
Not bad :-)Can't remember the exact spec of the T42, doing a google search it suggests it's a Pentium M, so I'd hazard a guess that it's DDR memory and an IDE hard drive, so not too expensive to upgrade (although sadly IDE drives don't seem to come in huge capacities like SATA drives anymore).
Still for the price it's a bargain! Rob -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
