Need laptop Advice

I can get this laptop with the following spec for €920:

ACER AMD2200,
40GB Hard Disk
512MB DDR Ra,
15" Screen
DVD/CDRW Combo Drive
56k Modem
10/100 Lan
XP Home

Another Picture: http://global.acer.com/products/notebook/as1300.htm

It looks fairly ordianary and may not include a warranty(but I can insure it) and fancy things like TV-Out, Bluetooth, etc... And I can't see it before I buy so I have to make do with info from the web.

Also - it's about 3.1Kg

So... Should I buy it? :)


Distos

Still frustrated by avaliable distros. Installed fedora over the gentoo install I did a few days ago. It's not bad except that the menus are still broken when you try to use anything except the blucurve icon theme. It's also a royal pita to get mp3 etc.. support installed - hopefully this will change when fedora gets released and people start updating their repositories.

Maybe I'll try gentoo again :/ I'm just getting to old to have to manually configure stupid things like sound.
