I was looking for a laptop which had Centrino/pentium-M for battery life and which worked with 2.6 kernels. Spent a lot of time and either there isn't one or someone with more time than I will have to find it. Given the state of 2.6 power management, I have no trouble finding units which won't boot, or suspend, or have disfunctional parts, but I haven't identified the one which actually works :-( I'll go look at the other links, but I think they are optimized for search by brand as well. -- bill davidsen CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979.
