finally, i've come up with something new and exciting to post about, and i know a bunch of you will have plenty of ideas on this one. allow me to start in the beginning:

in the beginning, the universe was created....
then hundreds of thousands of years later, i finally found a way to scrounge up some spending cash. i'm going to college for programming, and i need something i can carry with me to and from class(probably a laptop) which can compile my c++ programs(currently, lower-end games). i'm almost definitely putting debian linux on it, and i dont plan to spend more than $1000. i'm open to suggestions, and if someone has a great idea for some crazy mod, i'm up for it. just tell me what to try.

thanks

currently looking at a dell inspiron 8000, for somewhere close to 400 bucks.
