It wasn't meant as criticism of the title, by the way! But it can be confusing, I wonder if was humour on the part of the OP. Maybe toilet is not understood in other languages but I discovered that it's a linux acronym.
1) Lenovo T520 i5 LL3.8 8GB ram, fast & stable
2) Medion P4 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, quite fast & stable
3) eeePC 901 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, fast & stable
4) eeePC 701 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, slower & stable but small and light enough to travel with me to New Zealand when visiting family in Blenheim.

Am I the only one who thought this thread was going to be about locating 'safe and clean' public toilets (bathrooms, washrooms, or whatever you may call them) ! I had to google 'linux toilets' to find the answer.
