I can order any laptop I want. The only restrictions are that it must be able to dual boot Win XP (home is OK) and a linux distribution. I use Fedora so I'd prefer one that runs FC5 without ndiswrapper. I can't spend a week setting this up so if anybody knows a vendor in the US that will supply such a machine already set up that would be a big plus. I'll use Redhat or any other major distribution if available. /Bob Cahn Gipsy Trail Club Carmel, NY
