My 380ED is certainly well made with a good keyboard. However as a 
pentium 166 it's a tad slow ;)

It runs Xubuntu Dapper fine (but Edgy doesn't like its ISA hardware too 
much). Currently running OpenBSD 4.0 on it and fluxbox.

When I qualify and (hopefully) get a job I'll certainly upgrade to 
another second hand thinkpad :)
