Apologies to kernel mailing list. This Athlon-64 laptop is available here in the UK at quite an attractive price, sold with Windows XP Home, so fit for repartitioning as a Linux only box if an empty HD isn't an option. I wonder if anyone has Linux up and running on it or any other Althon-64 laptop.
I don't have one myself, but if you head over to the Debian AMD64
mailing list[1], or #debian-amd64 on irc.oftc.net, there are a couple
of people with AMD64 laptops running (or sort-of running) Linux on
them.
Don't expect much, though -- it's still early days in the Debian
camp.
