Replying to an old post here, but I'd like to chime in that the x300
is a beautiful laptop for running Plan 9; I just installed on
one. Pity it's going to be a cpu/auth server, because it's great
hardware that makes a sweet terminal. Wireless is your own problem,
though. What would it take to get USB phone tethering working?

(My new x201 should be in my hands soon, once all the bureaucracy gets
through messing with it. Looking forward to trying Plan 9).
