I use a Dell Latitude D800 with Kubuntu and it works great. I would suggest getting a model that has a wide user base, as driver issues, etc. tend to be worked out collectively. Check on the Linux laptop boards for compatibility issues. I can also generally vouch for Toshiba. Remember that laptops have become very affordable so shop around... you can get a decent piece of hardware for under $1000. jmz On 2/13/07, John Schember wrote: > On Tue, 2007-02-13 at 19:43 -0700, Jeff Garland wrote: > > So, in summary, I'd look toward Lenovo or Toshiba and run away from > > Dell. > I will agree with you on the Dell part.
