This is way offtopic, but I'm learning Gimp and Inkscape and planned on buying a desktop PC soon and then trying to get some work in graphic design - maybe in a printing company for starters.
However, during this learning phase, I've noticed that my 750Mhz / 512MB Ram laptop is doing quite well under Ubuntu.
Do any of you think it would be as practical to work on a laptop exclusively?
Thanks for reading, Jarlath
i do. if you can connect a high end graphics tablet to it, i say go for it.

I agree with Dwain, especilly if you tweak ubuntu a little, the specs is more than enough. But you should get a external HD for the work, them your set.
Thanks guys. That's great. What would you consider a high end graphics tablet? I have a Wacom Volito 2 at the moment while I'm learning the ropes.
