[aclug-L] Re: Linux on Laptop

["Stephen S" <junkmail001@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The GRID I found from a google search is a brand from
Europe that specializes in hardened (military & industrial)
computers.  Sounds like you might have a nice rugged
laptop there.=20

  Start with any "troubleshooting" or "equipment inventory" boot
disks or utilities you can get to boot up in it & see if you can
probe for hardware.
