> a new laptop of your choice + vmware is also not a bad idea.

Hi.

Thank you for this idea. It creates a few more questions though ;)

A shop nearby is selling laptops that have been "tested with Linux". These
laptops have Transmeta processors and have no cooling fans. Will plan9 run on
these unusual processors natively and/or under vmware? The Linux modem driver
is binary only with an open source stub. Is it possible to rewrite the stub
so the driver will work under plan9?

Many thanks,

Nick
