This includes a couple of laptops (CTX, Fujitsu, and IBM) and several desktop/server configurations (several of these Dell products). I'll also echo the suggestion about the installfest. If you choose to try SuSE I'm usually there, and I should even make this one. (Tuesday is the one afternoon/evening I don't have anything scheduled this quarter.) So look for me or ask for "the SuSE guy" and most people will point you to me. At the risk of being flamed I'll also put in a plug for TCPC's Linux on Saturday session where many of the members are in the position you are in. Email me off list for more information. -- Jack Ungerleider jack at jacku.com _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
