I've spent A LOT of time researching Linux systems over the past few days. Since I'm set on laptops by IBM (Lenovo) preloaded with Linux, I've come up with these websites: http://www.emperorlinux.com/ http://www.linuxcertified.com/linux_laptops.html Note: You CANNOT order directly...

Well looks like I'll be going with SUSE 9.3 as an OS. After researching much here and there, it looks to be pretty stable and user friendly. I might try and find a laptop that's pre-loaded with it before trying to do it myself. comments more than welcomed.

Thanks Don, nice website. Looks like I can get it built without anything except HD formatting. Might be what I'm looking for. Still would like to see a few more replies before I dive in. ...especially concerning the different Linux distributions for my application.

How do I go about this: *Buy a laptop with no pre-loaded software except a bare bones O.S. (By bare bones, I mean enough to fire the thing up and add whatever programs I like.) *Add programs as needed... Basically, my trading program, Firefox and a very, very, basic version of Word. That's...

I guess it would leave me ripe for an invading army. Maybe Brazil would invade me with their female population. 18-25 year olds please.

Just throwing this out there. Is it possible to belong to no country at all?

God bless the internet.

Woops...that didn't come out right.:D

Looking at girls in two piece bikinis has cost me a lot of money over the years. I think I could handle men in 3 piece suits for awhile.

No Andy, I didn't mean it that way. I was using New York minute as an expression, not so much literally.:) It could be anywhere.

TGM, EBAY it!

:D

I'd give it up in New York minute to be in a successful trading environment. This figuring it out for myself shit is very trying. ...two steps forward, three steps back. Two ticks and a cloud of dust.

Holy crap, that IS loud! OK, I can see how that can be a little bit of a distraction. :) OT: Did Randy Moss just "moon" the GB fans after his touchdown? I missed it while I was posting.

May I have a comparison please (decibels): 0 threshold of hearing 10 pin dropping at 10 m 20 soft whisper 30 library 40 quiet conversation 50 normal conversation 60 a busy office 70 vacuum cleaner 80 inside a small car 90 lawn mower 100 large orchestra 110 rock music...

Fair enough. I'll reserve my judgement for if and when I run across a loud one.

Hi TGM, Well I can understand the idiosyncrasy on the part of traders. I myself don't feel right if my desk is a mess and I haven't brushed my teeth before trading. Actually I haven't been around any traders. It's quite a lonely pursuit here in Hawaii. Not very many wanna wake up at 3:00...

Seriously, how loud can a computer be? It amazes me everytime I hear this statement.

Man Pabst, are we showing our age or what?:p Three Dog Night , Tower of Power, Blood Sweat and Tears, Average White Band, Old Santana (Abraxas), sheesh...I had all these on 8-track!

Kinda stretches this threads theme; but I dig'em (from another thread): GET THE FUNK UP!! Dazz -- Brick Flashlight -- Parliament Dropped a bomb on me -- Gap Band Slippin into darkness -- War Wanna get next to you -- Rose Royce Jungle Love -- The Time Mama told me not to come --...
