Don't expect a delivery date anytime soon, OK? ;-) On the other hand, I may have a bit of time for this, so... And I have to add a few things here and there on SlackDocs... This being said, I have Slackware 13.0 running on a Compaq 615, and it also works very well. The computer itself is a workhorse, slow by modern standards, very heavy compared to the eeePC, but very nice to use under Slackware. -- Gil ANDRE gil [at] panix [dot] com andre [dot] g [at] wanadoo [dot] fr ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Il faut beaucoup philosopher, il faut beaucoup penser.
