Which laptop brands and models are known to work ***perfectly*** ...
"out of the box" with Linux -- both Live CDs and when installed?

Wireless works "out of the box" with the built-in wireless card
(without needing an ndsi wrapper) ... display works at the optimum
resolution ... dvd burner works ... usb ports work ... built in web
cam works... everything works ***without*** requiring any fussing
around or special configuration?

I am hoping to compile a list and would appreciate any and all
recommendations -- the most essential data listed one line per item
like this:

15.4" Acer Aspire 5515-5879 AMD Athlon 1.6 GHz - 3GB ram 160GB HD about $400

Another objective (as you will see at the above web page) is to
attempt to generate interest and support toward the idea of a *** ONE
CLICK *** installation of Linux that makes a dual-boot installation as
truly, totally simple as possible.
