hello all i'm interested in getting a subcompact to use while learning to use linux (haven't decided what type yet). i will mostly use the lappy to surf the web (hence i'll need a PC card slot for a wireless card) and basic word processing but mostly i'm interested in a system that maximizes the portability/affordability. with these caveats in mind, are there any subcompacts that are particularly suited to run linux? any to steer clear of? TIA alfio

Quote something towards the bottom end of linux's system requirements Bottom end? AFAIK, there is no bottom end. Even MMU-less systems can run uclinux. I'd recommend Debian or Slackware. But, if you really want to experiment and learn, I'd recommend Gentoo or (GNU/)LinuxFromSratch (LFS).
