I wanted to install FreeBSD and Linux on an old laptop I have, <br>but it has no CD-ROM or floppy drives. I got an adapter (on eBay, for <br>$.99!) to allow me to connect the laptop hard drive in a desktop PC and <br>put it in one of the GX100s. Since it has CD-ROM and floppy drives, I <br>was able to install what I wanted and then put the hard drive back into <br>the laptop. The GX100 was ideal for my purpose, as it was relatively <br>small and light, opens up like a clamshell with no tools (just two push <br>buttons), and I wasn't already using it.<br><br>Does anyone foresee needing a test PC, something easy to open that you <br>can pop in something to try out or, as in my case, do
something you <br>couldn't ordinarily do? Does anyone else want one now????</div><div>
