I've been running Linux on portables since my first DEC 325SL about
four years ago. What's this "once" stuff? I go back and forth
every day with a (this year) Everex StepNote P133 running Caldera
OpenLinux 1.1 with Red Hat CDE. Oh, there _is_ a 300MB partition
that still has Win95 (it came preloaded) for playing noisy games. I
boot that partition maybe every other week, it's not the default.
