- For your information. I took the Linux boot disk and root disk, I
- think they were .97, and booted it up on an ACER laptop over at Frys
- Electronics. The laptop is $999, 1MB (can go to 5MB) and a 40MB disk
- (can't expand) and a VGA screen. It looked OK. It has to be the
- cheapest laptop Linux system around. 6 pounds or so.
