[ILUG] New notebook

[Philip Trickett]

And, if you can live with 1024x480, you can have a C1XD, which extremely
portable, as a PII 400, 12GB HDD, and 64MB of RAM.
It has a camera as well, but that doesn't work under linux yet, but a driver
is being worked on.

 Very, very well. I installed Linux on one of the first of them, for a
lecturer in DCU about 18 months ago, and bar the fact that he'd a flaky
network card, the install was fine. Highly recommended.
