I wonder if there is anyway to generate some momentum for it? If the aim is enterprise, doesn't enterprise use thousands of notebooks? I got mine refurbished from some large business. There are many organizations that collect thousands of old notebooks used by businesses, refurbish them and re-sell them. It's a great way of acquiring a durable, light business-class notebook at bargain prices. This is a great target for Linux especially as it runs fine (even with the infamous Gnome) on my 700Mhz T20 Thinkpad. ie. a multi-gigahertz system seems a complete waste of money and a risk re weight and build quality. I couldn't code a hello world to save my life but I can test patches and collect data. Currently, I am running 2.4.22 on my notebook because on 2.6.0: (a) suspend kills ALSA and ALSA mut be restarted (b) suspend fails to function if yenta_socket (PCMCIA services) is running Karol Kozimor wrote: > Thus wrote pZa1x: > >>ALSA stops producing sound after any time I suspend my Thinkpad T20 >>notebook.
