Title: Linux On Sony Vaio?
Post by: bluedevils on January 31, 2005, 10:37:02 am

The vaio was over a grand and a half at conics, but sony is now selling it here for under $300.  Too bad it isn't a linux device.

Uhm.. I think that price is just for the battery. The page you are referring has bad links to the prices; when clicking over a price, the selected item is a battery, not the unit itself.

What a pitty; I was rushing to buy one, used to their $2000 price tag.

BTW, the u750 can run linux. Google for it.
