Oh, no, not another question so soon :)

Just wondering whether anyone had tried running Linux on any of the
current range of Novatech laptops. I'm half tempted, for convenience and
a disillusionment with branded models (well Dell really, but being tied
to a proprietary PSU connector, and the pitiful life, in terms of
recharges, of the batteries makes me consider a 'noname' may make sense).

The Sorar looks tempting because it mentions Intel graphics and wireless
chipsets, so hopefully should prove usable with Linux on a budget, but
the Rasor isn't a massive price rise for the extra spec with Core 2 Duo
Mobile and still Intel chipsets. I've not been down to take a closer
look yet though.

Oh, and isn't that character on the "I know what I'm looking for.
Showing all systems" link annoying in a stereotypical way?!

Oh, and sorry, I think I keep signing my emails with a wrong key. Comes
of playing with Thunderbird (which is annoying my like anything at the
moment sadly) and OpenPHP on Windows :(
