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. -Derek On Thu, 6 Dec 2001, David Mandala wrote: > Need more input.......
