Just to give you an idea--and stock changes often--a friend of mine got a Celeron 700, 64MB RAM, 15" display, CDROM, 20GB hard disk, Win2K, Ethernet/modem combo card for $899. No, you can't get specific configurations--you're limited to what's on-hand at the site, but if you're gonna put Linux on it anyway. ...... Just be careful of the I-Series notebooks; many of them have no serial ports. The A series, T series, and X series though should be safe. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV/3 | I choose you to take up all of my time.
