I've got two IBM Thinkpads that are absolutely perfect. Older models but
the newer models I've used work great with Knoppix, so I can imagine
what they would do with a normal distro.=20

I've never been a fan of Dell, but I broke down and bought one. Inspiron
1100. I got a good machine for the money. I'm very happy with it. I
haven't had any driver problems, though I haven't messed with the modem
yet, but supposedly it works.

My Thinkpads are both fairly thin, and my Dell is pretty thick, I've
noticed how much more I prefer my Thinkpads due to the thickness of the
machine. I don't use external keyboards, only the laptop keyboard, and
after banging away for 5 or 6 hours straight, my wrists start to hurt.

So I would recommend a thin laptop. Of course, I'll give you a great
deal on my 2 month old Dell!
