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...

Does your X32 boot from USB?

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.
