I would also suggest another possibility if you're looking at spec'ing out your laptop as well as avoiding paying the MS tax.
I bought my Asus M6BNe laptop from Memory Express last year and have had absolutely no issues with it. You can choose a "bare bones" model of laptop and spec it out as you desire. I've been extremely glad that I went this route and I believe that Memory Express even offers a CLUG discount to boot. There are a couple of excellent on-line communities dedicated to linux on these laptop "shells", so help is only a few clicks away. As others have suggested, the best course of action is to check out the tuxmobile sites as well as linux on laptop sites specific to your interest. I researched my purchase for a full 2 months before committing to it. As an aside, I absolutely _love_ the widescreen 15.4" display on this thing! ;-) I'll be toting it to the next meeting in all likelihood and the wifi b/g is working well using Intel's sourceforge project - http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/index.php Good luck!
