More OpenSolaris on Toshiba
Toshiba
To OEM Laptops With OpenSolaris:
"Slowly but surely, major laptop
vendors are taking to the idea of shipping systems with pre-loaded open
source operating systems. The latest case in point is Toshiba -- one of
the longest-standing players in the market for portable computers --
and
its new plan to pre-install Sun Microsystems' OpenSolaris on its
laptops." -- Slashdot

Alan ... thanks for those links. Stuff like this is showing up more and more (albeit quietly).
Vasileios ... we should know the models soon. I think it`s going to be a very successful first run.

This sounds exciting. I hope the specs will allow 8 gig of ram as 4 DIMMS and some dual hard drives - very much in line with the M6400 model from Dell.
