Bought an R52 two months ago. Installed Fedora Core 4. Works like charm!
Soundcard problems were quickly solved (commented out an alias in the
modules.conf). Only have to upgrade to newer kernel to get wireless
working.

This one will be use very few hours by week, about 10 h, 
for doing open-office and firefox. 

Some times ago there was old R50 at about 600 EUR. But today it's too late. 

I find a R50e at 680 EUR.

! ! ! without any MS windows and THREE year waranty ! ! ! 

What do you choice ? the most recent or not ?

What do you think about the 2 years waranty at 180 EUR ?

Can I install a debian gnome on the R52 only with a debian boot cd
and an ethernet cable. (before using the wifi)

Can I look at divx and dvd film on the full screen on these two laptops ?
On my T42 I must install an ati driver for this.
And I don't install any modem driver.

Thanks a lot for your advice !
