Buying a Laptop to use Linux
by Nikhil D. Kikkeri 08 May '02

hi, i am planning to buy a laptop to use Linux on it.which brand among the present breed offers the best support for Linux with respect to hardware compatibility. are there any up-to-date resources on the web which i can look into. also just as an after thought i am just curious as to how the Apple Powerbook which has the BSD core and the Mac interface compare to a normal laptop running Linux. my curiosity stems from the fact that its my guess that the Mac OS X would allow me to run most of the GUI based programs available for Linux or BSD and at the same time allow me to use M$ products for the Mac like MS Office (well... all us still use a little bit of M$ everyday) regards NDK _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

I think someone, (Krishnan I think), had printed out the Emacs manual about a year ago. If anyone has a copy, could I borrow it for Xeroxing? cheers, quasi

Hi, I have been for long interested in making a Content Management System. I learnt PHP, after a few hundered lines of code... *documented* I began to realsie the pitfalls. Everything looked just like greek. At the same time I find it quite amusing too see so many CMSs and portal systems out there have been built using PHP. I believe quite a good number of you must have tried alternatives like mod_python on Apache, or perhaps even J2EE... I'd love to know how they scale up with regards to PHP.
