Looking for recommendations for Linux laptop

[Joshua Zeidner]

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
