Emachines has a cool laptop as well. Currently it is only available to buy at Best Buy stores. I have one and love it. Widescreen 15.4" and it works great.
Anybody else have experience with SESE 64-bit Linux?

I really want to know before I shell out my hard earned money buying this 64-bit AMD system right away.

"SuSE has launched version 9.0 of its Linux operating system, which adds support for the Athlon 64 and is designed to ease migration from Windows
SuSE is targeting disgruntled Windows users with the latest update of its Linux operating system, which includes support for AMD's 64-bit Athlon processor."
Right here!
I found it on Worstbuy's site Right here. It ships with XP Home installed. Does XP Home even run on a 64 bit processor?
There is no reasonable defense against an idiot with an agenda

Sorry, I've already drawn up my entire christmas list, and its being hosted at thinkgeek. As it should be.
Except maybe the Family Guy DVDs, god I love that show.
Dont knock packard bell, they made the best damn PC POWER SUPPLIES this side of tandy, and it came with a killer software pack including komander keen!
emphasis mine I have an old packard bell ps that came out of their 386SX half-height desktop case.. the damn thing is now running six drives in a RAID box. they're damn hard to kill.
If the Linux community _really_ wants to invade the desktop space, we need some killer games.
Actually you just need to relax while Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo fight it out -- once again the pendulum of game playing is swinging far back towards consoles, decoupling the need for your computer to be a great gaming platform.
Of course this applies to the market as a whole -- there are still lots of hardcore computer gamers, but it's a vastly declining market.
"If the Linux community _really_ wants to invade the desktop space, we need some killer games."
True. But what we need even more is a killer Linux-exclusive game. Sadly, though, no company that attempts it will survive for more than a couple months past release. Including Knoppix and the game may appeal to more users, but only if hardware setup is flawless. But getting your casual gamer to install a new operating system just to play a game is going to be close to impossible.
