The laptops are rarely a fight, when it is one, it's normally something stupid like X or a graphical card. so far, -CURRENT is working like a charm on this laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600). No complaints, once X was working. -------/ f. johan beisser /--------------------------------------+ http://caustic.org/~jan jan@caustic.org "John Ashcroft is really just the reanimated corpse of J.
