Since it has CDRW/DVD, I can't imagine that it's tiny or light. If 
indeed it isn't, it sounds similar to but more expensive than the 
Powerbook thingie that I got brand new a couple of weeks ago. Of course, 
the Powerbook doesn't run any flavor of Linux that I've ever tried, but 
the OS that comes installed isn't bad, and there's "Yellow Dog" or 
similar if you're ever bored.
