The quest for Linux friendly laptops appears to have expanded beyond
the original post here, so I I thought I would add my part<br>
since I have 2 latops here both happily running Linux and the plans
I had for the second one disappeared. For a while, they were both
running Redhat 9, but the one I am willing to part with has recently
had SuSE 8.2 installed on it after I put it into someone else's hands
as part of an experiment (someone completely ignorant of the Linux
realm) and it came back to me with too many problems to try to solve
them all <br>
-> new install - new flavor. <br>
;-)<br>
<br>
<br>
It is a dell Latitude PII (366Mhz), 128MB RAM, 4GB HD.<br>
I will throw in a netgear FA411 pcmcia NIC with it, as the other laptop
has an on-board NIC. <br>
Since ready cash is sort of an issue for me at the moment (recently
finished grad school and no gainful employment yet), I would hope to
get at least $300 for everything, but that is negotiable.<br>
<br>
Interested parties please get back to me.<br>
<br>
S.<br>
<br>
p.s. I have checked the dell site and the numbers on the power supply
here do not match the recalled one's from a couple months ago. <br>

<pre wrap="">Sorry it took me so long to get back to ya, Jesse. The laptop is in great
condition. The only blemish is a small crack on the lid near the hinge. Its
not very big at all and from what I hear it happens to a lot of the Compaqs.
I'd like to get about $500-550 for it.
