Newer ThinkPad 240x
Hi I'm in and out of Linux all the time and would like to settle with it again. I had a ThinkPad 240x and loved it but it was a bit old. Is there anything of similar size around the 1Ghz P3/P4 mark good for running Ubuntu. I dont want an Atom based machine and if it didnt have an internal CD/DVD drive then it would need to boot from USB - something my 240x didnt have.

Thinkpad X30 series? I have an X32 (1.8Ghz, 1GB ram, 120GB disk, wifi, bluetooth, usb cd-rom etc.) for sale but I have given first refusal to someone else and I'm waiting for them to get back to me if they want it or not... Adam -- New signature required, suggestions on a post card please.

The x32 boots from usb cd-rom (which mine has) and usb flash memory sticks and from network. Not sure what the earlier machines (x30 and x31) in the series boot from. Adam -- New signature required, suggestions on a post card please.
