IBM Thinkpads are quite "strong" in th sense that they are very sturdy and have titanium casing. Not rugged as such but I have travelled with an X30 all over the place and it has been thrown into taxis, fallen down stairs... still boots ;-)

We're looking for a laptop to run in a 10,000', cold, occasionally wet environment, and it needs to run CentOS 5.  Perhaps something like the Dell Latitude E6400 ATG? There's a reference to a minor trackball bug for the 6400 under CentOS 5 (http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4192) but otherwise it sounds like the x86_64 version should run on it. Ideally the system would use a SSD too.  Any suggestions?

panasonic toughbook, one of the serious ones with the ip65 rating, like the 19 or the 30.
