The Compaq Armada 1500c is a fairly basic notebook. Apparently aimed at the budget-conscious value-for-money consumer, this machine has plenty of grunt for most users and a very attractive price tag. Best of all, I have managed to get Debian 2.1 up and running in less than a day, with virtually all the functionality which one would expect if running a ``supported'' OS.
