yeah, I read about the T2300E.
mince is:
cpu0: Intel Pentium M (Yonah) (686-class), 1664.54 MHz, id 0x6e8
cpu0: "Genuine Intel(R) CPU           T2300  @ 1.66GHz"

but as you said, that does not give a clue about this.

well, my idea was NetBSD as dom0 and Windows as domU.
maybe some Linux and Solaris domU too from time to time.
