I need some help from you computer gurus out there.

I need a built in RS232 serial port and a writable CD.
Ethernet would also be nice to run DSL. I need a 20Gig hard drive
and a 14.1 or 15 inch TFT. High speed is not all that important.
I don't want to mess with expansion devices.
Everything must be built in. I don't care about weight.
It should allow me to get into the BIOS and specify
booting off a CD or floppy.
I would like a hardware modem built in so I can use it with Linux.
If that is not possible the RS232 serial port could be used with an
external modem.


I think I want to buy a Toshiba 1800-S207 0r S208 or
a 1800-S278.


I would like to buy it without MS O.S. software and install RedHat Linux
and DOS 5.0 myself in separate partitions. The DOS is for running
my moving map software.

What do you think?
