Penetration Testing: Re: Laptop Considerations

Hi David,

just some issues and experiences:

- most new laptops don't have a serial port these days. You may 
circumvent this with usb-to-serial adapters (just in case the missing 
serial port would you prevent from some machine).
- I have very good experiences with IBM Laptops (X-Series and T-Series). 
They run very good with FreeBSD and Linux, are mechanically stable, have 
good support (if you need it) and the keyboard is what I like.
