I would recommend the new iBook from Apple. It's has a 500 mhz
Power PC processor with 128 mb for it's base memory. Battery life
is advetized in the 5 hour range but in reality it's about 4 hours.
Installation is supper easy because the open firm is written in
fourth and is preprogrammed to boot unto Linux.
I'd ideally like a bigger screen than that; I'm in the habit of
running multiple emacs windows at 6x10 and I like getting 80 some odd
lines of text in.
