- Subject: [tlug] Notebook Question
G'day All, Well today my wife came home to find a hole in the roof, the manhole into the ceiling open, and a couple of things missing, including my Toshiba notebook. FORTUNATELY I had spent much of Monday making zipped tarball backups to CD, so the loss of data is not dramatic, however I am about to buy a new notebook. Two questions from this: - looking at the "brandname" models I see that there are equivalent systems from Compaq, Toshiba and IBM. (256M, 20Gb, etc.) Does anyone have any comments on the suitability, ease of installation, etc. for Linux (e.g. RH7.3)? - some come with XP. I think I need to leave a basic Win partition as laptops seem to need various config utilities installed there. Does anyone have useful experience to share about shrinking the partition with XP?
