[lug] new laptop

[Jason Davis]

Thanks George.

Damn... any thoughts on Asus laptops? Can anyone recommend
a laptop or laptop distributor that is decent. 

I must admit , I was given a Dell Inspiron 8100 by my last employer.
It still kicks ass and has never given me a problem. 

I also must admit that the same company had ... 5 power edge 2600s.
They ran very well and anytime I needed a part I called tech support..
IN HOUSTON \o/ \o/ , and they got me the parts right away. Also..
they didn't give me any crap about running Debian. This was a very
nice change of pace.

Guess I have been lucky so far.

thanks for the information,
jason
