I use a Sharp 9030 with 1024x768 active matrix screen. No problems running debian and the XFree86 folks helped me get X working - support for the chip set (S3 Aurora) is now included in the standard XFree86 distribution.
If I were you and money were an issue I would look for a used/refurbished/overstocked 1024x768 notebook such as my Sharp or an NEC 6030X. Should be able to find one for about $2000 at places such as onsale.com. I use mine as my primary machine now; useful since I have several offices and travel between them. ml -- Michael Laing, President _|_|_|_| _| _| _| _|_|_| Foster Laing & Noonan, Inc. _| _| _|_| _| _| [EMAIL PROTECTED] 207.832.6372 _|_|_| _| _| _| _| _| Internet Software Developers _| _| _| _|_| _| _____and Consultants__________| _|_|_|_| _| _| _|_|_| -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
