Hello,
my name is Antoine de Maricourt and I introduce myself as suggested.
I have no Thinkpad 750, but I strongly consider buying one. I am from
unix world (used to Sparc stations), and would like to have a machine
where I could develop programs with similar conditions I am used to.
It is important to me the machine be a portable one.
My wishes are the following:
+ It would be very nice if the machine could run Unix (mostly linux)
+ It would be very nice if it could also run X
+ I don't like DOS, but I have no negative a priori against OS/2
+ The most important requirement is that I can run GNU compiler and
other related software (gmake, bison, rcs ...). In fact I don't care
the OS, provided it has some usefull features (mainly good memory
management, multi-tasking, good graphic interface). Unix would be
great because I have some experience about it, about X, and about
free software related to Unix.
I consider buying a TP750 mono, 340 MB HD, 8 MB memory extension.
I am interested in any experiment report about Unix on this machine,
any advice and comments about my wishes, any info about OS/2, ...
anything about the machine.
Antoine.
