[TriLUG] OT: Linux Friendly Laptop Forsale

[Ken Mink]

Hi Folks,
    I am selling my old laptop. I drank the Kool-Aid and am a happy 
Powerbook user now. The specs are below. I used it for about 2 1/2 
years, so it is not new. Everything works. The battery holds a charge, 
though I rarely used it. The only thing I don't know about is the 
built-in WinModem. I never used it, not once. It shouldn't be an issue 
because I'm including the Xircom  card. The couple times I needed a 
modem, I used the one on the card. The Xircom is very Linux friendly, 
as is all the hardware. I never had any issue getting video, sound, or 
network to work under Linux. The first thing I did when I bought it was 
load RH8, then I went RH9 and lastly FC1. None had any problems with 
it. I also played with Debian and Mandrake a couple times. Again there 
were no hardware problems. I used this machine daily as my work machine 
and it never skipped a beat. The fan is kind of loud, the bottom gets 
hot and the case has some minor usage damage. It's been used, but 
everything still works fine.

    I have all the original packing and the restore CDs. I'll wipe the 
drive or reload the XP Home it came with, buyer's choice.

    Please reply privately, not to the list.

Ken
