Laptop for Linux

[Derek Neighbors]

I have had expierence with the following:

Compaq : Most things not supported real well, though with newer kernels 
not bad.  Somewhat expensive, but nice box.

Toshiba : Everything supported out of box.  Decent laptop but a little 
big.

Dell : Everything supported out of box.  Decent laptop, not commercial 
grade IMHO, I have had it serviced 5 times at least, but I am VERY hard on 
laptops.

IBM : Only expierence was older thinkpads.  Best laptops wrt durability, 
but very pricey.  At time they had spotty linux support but Im sure that 
its gotten much better.

TuxTops: Great, durable machine, very expensive, not in business anylonger 
but someone took over their product line.
