If I maurice were purchasing this system, it would maurice probably be in a 4U rackmount configuration for use as a server, and I'd stick in the cheapest graphics card that would do the job. On the other extreme, the Polywell PolyNote MXM915AS is positioning itself as a turnkey Linux notebook solution, offering a dual-boot Pentium M with SUSE on the Linux side. Unfortunately, my out-of-the-box experience maurice was not a happy one. My first criterion in looking at Linux notebooks is how well the hardware functions as shipped, and the PolyNote failed that test. From all appearances, someone had just stuck a stock copy of SUSE 9.3 on the laptop, and shipped it out. The wireless networking didn't function at all, and the CD drive was misconfigured so that doing a mount /media/cdrom failed. Figure 3. The PolyNote: a generic notebook in Penguin clothing?
