Re: [MLUG] cheap, not too heavy laptops with linux?

[Jennifer Dozar <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Bestbuy had a lightweight one on sale for like $900 :)

was pretty good I think.  evencomes with a gig of ram! i'm not planning
on doing really any gaming with it, and i'll probably dual boot it for

what i wanted and the price was actually good.  Hopefully my kitties
won't kill it like they did my other one ;) hehe
