In such cases my vote tends to go to the Castello, but
the others are ok too :-)

Anyone else? 6 people is very few...

Hi,
I know we all don't like that certain "OS" from
Redmont, WA, but sometimes it's necessary to find
FOSS for that platform anyway.
Can anyone point me to and/or recommend some
konqueror-fish://-like software on MS Windows?
Maybe an extension to Explorer, maybe an extension
to firefox, whatever makes browsing via SSH as easy
as in konqueror and allowing drag&drop of files to
some other place...
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Did you buy it in Lux? With a Swiss keyboard?
I would like to buy a laptop but I have no clue which one.
There's not much I really need from a laptop: a decent screen and
keyboard, moderately portable (i.e. 14", 15" or 15,4" screen), 1GB RAM,
LAN and WLAN. I'd rather have an Intel or SIS card if it extends battery
life, otherwise Nvidia is also OK. Oh yes, and a Swiss keyboard.
I'm not sure about the screen, whether it could be glaring or not.
The only laptop-specific thing I need is working suspend-to-disk,
preferaby with the kernel build-in support and not swsusp2, and I am
willing to compile a kernel. The distro will be Slackware 11.
I have read that HP has decent Linux support but it's hard to get an
up-to-date laptop in Luxemburg. LIS is willing to let me test their
laptops but of course I won't be able to spend half a day there and
install Linux. My girlfriend is rather fond of her Acer but it runs
Windows. Oh yes, I don't mind paying for Windows and not using it.
So I guess I am not really difficult, although a Core 2 processor would
be nice.
Now I am simply afraid that if I buy a laptop, major things like
suspend-to-disk will not work reliably. Or that the battery performance
is lousy because of a bad processor speed management.
Does anybody on the list have a suitable laptop (s)he could recommend?
