[PLUG] Linux-friendly Laptops On EBay?

[Russell Evans]

This seems like a nice box, minus the noise and heat. I didn't know ecs got
into the laptop market. They are using desktop parts, memory and cpu, instead
of low power laptop parts as per the desknote boxes. It does have an internal
battery too.

"Dual boot--Win XP and Mandrake 9.1"
The fan is little bit loud, but it should be minor issue compared with its
features. If you would like to install Linux OS, you need to turn off
APIC--"linux noapic"--in order to install the OS.

"Best price, best performance"
Very fast machine at a very low price, cool gaming with the ATI Radeon 9000
with 64MB. The CPU and RAM are standard, and the batteries cost so low you
could buy three batteries for the Green 732 instead of one from another make

Thank you
Russell
