Anything but Intel

[agabriel at coe.neu.edu (Anthony J. Gabrielson)]

Hello,
	Well I orginally meant non x86, but you mentioned Cyrix.  I tried
Linux on a Cyrix based system once, It was the only system that didn't run
right.  Have you had good luck with Linux on your cyrix based machine?
	If your looking for a non x86 based Laptop Tadpole made a sparc 2
and a sparc 5 based laptop, they run warm, but its not an intel.  I am
pretty sure that DEC made a laptop based Alpha, but don't know to much
about it.

thanks,
Anthony
