[TriLUG] new notebook with linux

[Jason Tower]

if you want to save a few bucks get a used/refurb ibm thinkpad, preferably
a T20/21/22.  they have excellent linux support, some even had linux
preinstalled.  several online stores sell them, mail me privately if you
want links.  the newer T30/40 models are damn nice, but rather expensive. 
my R40 has been great, but it did come with winxp (which i never
activated, i booted a linux CD on the initial powerup and never looked
back).
