I am thinking of buying a notebook so I can sit in bed and run the
telescopes.  There are days when it is hard to get out of bed.  Still,
stuff needs to be done with the computers if I have run the night
before.  I just want a bare bones notebook that will run well off an AC
adaptor.  I will install Linux on it.  It needs an ethernet connection
and not much else.  So far I have failed to find a good source for such
a thing that does not have Windows installed on it.  I hate to pay the
Bill tax.  It needs to be known to work with linux.  I run Mandriva
linux.

Anyone have any suggestions for a good supplier?
