RDI Precision Book 160
Hi,
I've recently acquired an RDI Precision Book 160 which is currently
running HP-UX 10.2. From what I can find in the relevant documentation it is allegidly completely compatible with the HP B series workstations and thus should run Linux. Does anyone have any experience with installing / running Linux on these? It is possible? What devices are supported? Is Linux the best choice for this machine?
Cheers,
- Martin

Yes, I also bought one of these RDI Precisionbooks from eBay (probably even from the same guy as you did).
It works fine, except I have some problems with the (internal) keyboard, ie. the control/function keys are mapped somewhat weird, eg. CapsLock = Ctrl.
A second thing is that stifb only works for me if you attach a external monitor, but sticon works fine with the internal LCD. I suspect that the stifb driver clears some flag that it should use the internal LCD during initialization.
If someone is interested I'd sell mine, since I need some money :-/
