> My requirements are:
> * Runs linux (prob. redhat) simply and smoothly without suprises
> * "fast" enough to support a single user accessing the following apps over
> localhost http or X-Windows
> * Postgresql on UTF8 tables with large record counts (100K+)
> * Apache
> * Tomcat servlet / jsp engine
> * Java jdk 1.3
> * JBuilder 5
> * Samba / DHCP (so I can just plug into net and download to a machine with a
> cd burner)
> 
> I don't need fancy USB or video system, sound system etc.  Just something I
> can take on the road and code on.  Any brands that work good with linux?
> Any suggestions on processor / ram specs?  I don't need super fast, but
> don't want turtle speeds either.
> 
> Just for kicks, I do have a portable HP-CDRW that runs USB.  Any comments on
> how to get that working with a linux laptop?
> 
> thanks!
