Date: 5 May 1995 15:43:32 -0500 Organization: Concordia College, Moorhead Minnesota Lines: 19 Message-ID: <3oe2lk$plv@cobber.cord.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: cobber.cord.edu Hi all, I am looking at getting a notebook computer to run unix, NEXTSTEP and either Linux or FreeBSD. I have run both Linux and FreeBSD on my desktop machine in the past but now run NEXTSTEP. What brands/models of notebook computers will work? My main requirements are 1) networking (pcmcia ethernet - 10B-T and/or 10B-2) 2) and SLIP/PPP (pcmcia modem or external modem) 3) and X-Windows (XFree86) for Linux/FreeBSD. I've been looking at the NEC Versa models (E,V,M,P). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Doroin | I've taken the NeXTSTEP doroin@cobber.cord.edu | Plan 9 on a NeXTstation
