  13. I'm thinking of getting some type of notebook computer.
  14. Ideally I'd like a SPARCbook but that's too expensive.
  15. Does anyone have any experience of using Linux/X11/XView
  16. on a 486 based notebook in running Sun applications?
  17. If so what would be a reasonable type of minimum configuration
  18. to run a few XView based tasks (e.g. textedit, olwm, a few cmdtool's)?
  19. Would a Gateway 2000 Nomad 425DXL be a good machine for this
  20. type of use?
  21. Any other words of advice?
  22.  
  23. Thanks in advance.
