Hi,
I am in a process of buying a new laptop. I cannot really afford
any expensive ones (above AUS$3000), yet a powerfull one. I know
my requirements are contradicting to each other.
A thinkpad will be ideal for me, but they are just so expensive.
I happen to find out this site

Their laptop is so much cheaper compare to others, but I am a
bit worried if it will run on Linux.
Has anyone else bought any laptops from this site? Could someone
recommend what/where to buy new laptops for linux?
I don't want to aggressively plug here, since I work for this company, but
take a look at:

We're currently only shipping Red Hat 6.1, but debian is in the short term
plan. (I'd guess sometime in April.) We should be adding dual-boot
Windows as an option very soon, probably next week. There's not a lot of
options for pre-installed linux on laptops other than on the very high end
from most places, so we might have an option you like.
