What are the smallest portable machines that Linux will run on?
Which are best?
(Intended uses: news, email, running C & Tcl/Tk programs, running
DOS programs, and replacing my HP 200LX's PDA functions of scheduler,
phone book, etc.)
I'm thinking of an IBM Thinkpad 701C (which a friend says he can
"out type" under Windoze) or the HP Omnibook 600. I would upgrade
to 16 Meg on either. Which is better?
Is there any other system I should be considering?
What about building my own? It's not really possible to build my own
"ultralight" (4.5 pounds or less) laptop, is it?
I do have a big mondo Linux desktop, and would plan on networking the
two together when at home, in case that makes any difference.
