Hi all,

In short I need to buy a laptop.

A powerful netbook might work as might leasing one for a week here and
there.

Need to use a sun remote desktop to access a windows machine while on
the road.

I am comfortable with Fedora and would like to be able to install F12 on
the device. I have already been using the sun remote desktop on a F12
desktop.

Otherwise it will be used for email and internet. It will also need to
be encrypted.

Under £500 if I can, but that can be stretched if absolutely needed.

And finally the keys need to be bevelled, the "style" of flat keys where
you cannot be sure where one key stops and the next begins just won't
work for primary user.

I am currently searching the web for linux laptops, however I am hoping
someone here has been party to a recent purchase they can recommend.

Many thanks,

Justin
