[mdlug] Distro Suggestions f/Panasonic Toughbook CF-19

[Mat Enders]

Emperor Linux sells that same laptop with your choice of several
different distributions preloaded.  So it is probably just a matter of
configuration.  Maybe you can find out how they configure it.
OpenSuSE is one of their choices.

And what of Linux? It's still out there, bigger than ever before. It's
everywhere. It's everything. It runs the infrastructure that makes the
mobile world work. Mail servers and media servers and Web servers and
application servers and every kind of server you can think of.

Want to know just how good Linux and free software is these days? Get
this. Linux has become invisible. Maybe that's how you measure real
success.

World domination? Been there. Done that.
