October 19, 200718 yr At 12:35 I booted the laptop with a Fedora 7 DVD in teh drive. It is now 12:51, and I am posting form my shiny new install, using wifi.Awesome.
October 19, 200718 yr I really have no idea the point of posting that. But now you can check out my cool sig even more.
October 19, 200718 yr Your sig sucks, but the fact that you loaded linux, and the first thing you did was log on to Head-Case to brag about how fast the install was (and the fact itself that it was fast) is cool beyond words.
October 19, 200718 yr I think you need japk to take a look at your funny bone, because its just an underdeveloped as your brain. The FIRST thing I did was compile the wireless drivers, and patch the kernel, but you apparantly knew that already.
October 19, 200718 yr I think you need japk to take a look at your funny bone, because its just an underdeveloped as your brain.Well, I laughed at that, so it can't be too underdeveloped.
November 10, 200718 yr Ok, so my laptop died a couple of days ago so I need a decent laptop with long battery life ASAP. I dont play games much but I need a decent processor for programming and it needs to be CHEAP (Under $700?) Is dell the only choice? and no I dont want to get an apple right now

I dont play games much but I need a decent processor for programming and it needs to be CHEAP (Under $700?) Is dell the only choice? and no I dont want to get an apple right now Hmm, what is your opinion of a long battery life? 5 hours? I personally don't know of any cheap laptops with exceptional stock battery life. I would however suggest getting a spare or larger capacity battery. That may free up some more options for you.

November 10, 200718 yr Find a refurbished T40 and get an 8 cell battery. You get my Best Tip of the Day award.
November 11, 200718 yr I was already looking at the refurbed levonos, but all the decent T series got sold and I think the small screen of the X series is gonna frustrate me.
November 11, 200718 yr Hows the R61 series for levonos? I'm and about those laptops. (Yes, I got a reason to use those smileys)
November 11, 200718 yr Author If you can stretch your budget to 800ish I think you can get a refurbed Macbook.
November 11, 200718 yr If you can stretch your budget to 800ish I think you can get a refurbed Macbook. Or a good used one
November 11, 200718 yr The R series is a monster. Huge, heavy, crappy battery. T or X. You can get an X with a 14" display, too.
November 11, 200718 yr i went to circuit city, and they had a nice thinkpad R61i for like 30% off, around 700 with rebates. I needed the computer quickly so I just got this one. but vista is a piece of shit, slows down everything. Gotta go reformat to XP asap! (yes, I know linux is better)
November 11, 200718 yr (yes, I know linux is better) Better how? There isn't a but and dry, this OS i s better than another. It's all about what works FOR YOU.
November 11, 200718 yr i just said it so people dont go ZOMG WHY DONT YOU USE LINUX?!?!?! LINUX ROX MY SOX!!!1oneone but I like linux since it uses less system resources (well the way I configure it does)
November 12, 200718 yr ugh, the battery life of this laptop sucks so much. I guess I'll have to upgrade to a 9 cell battery soon.
