Comment rdesktop compatibility (Score 1) 250
When I was in college I had an old ultra-thin that did two things well - wireless networking and running rdesktop (and obviously X). Very nice and easy solution if you need to connect to a windows Box. I was able to use a 233 Mghz laptop to connect to my home PC and run things like MSDE, Matlab, etc.
If I'm not mistaken I had a Toshiba Portege. nice little machine - and super duper light.
