>Bloody hell - Linux on a notebook ??  Interesting concept...:-)

Just like a workstation only portable. I like the idea of being able
to take a Linux machine with me to use instead of having to rely on
the local dos box etc. I also envisage using it at work: plug it into
the local lan when I need to travel around the country and bingo...
I'm networked. The clincher is that my mother has gone and bought a
Mac so now when I go on to visit on holiday, I don't have a machine
that's even vaguely familiar (or really truly interesting for me - the
rest of my family have this strange fascination with Macs but I keep
the faith :)

About the only thing I was uncertain about with the Expor was support
for the graphics chipset (CT65545). Apart from that the machine looks
good on paper but no-one seems to know about it. Maybe it's not as
good as it reads. I haven't actually seen the beast - only read about
it.

Later,
