Mike, What bug? I'm using a VAIO since my last dell died. It makes a good little XTerm for ssh'ing to a heavier box for mail, etc (my Vaio is only a P2 with 96Megs) The only problem with the booger is the cdrom and floppy are usb, makes debian installs a bit of a problem, or did with Debian2.2, haven't tried 3.0.
