All hardware is fully supported, except for the winmodem, but I believe it is a common type that has drivers available for Linux. It works great, and it draws lots of compliments from friends and colleagues, especially when they see the performance Linux gets out of this hardware (a PIII 500 with 128M ram, Linux positively zips along). http://www.linux-laptop.net is a great resource, as it is a compilation of users' experiences with various laptops and Linux. Check there to see how well your prospective machine is supported. You may have to tweak a little to get the best out of your machine. I have the most problems with the power management occasionally locking up the machine. Building your own custom kernel is almost always a given I gathered, and I personally found the 2.4 series better suited to my laptop. Good luck with your laptop, Mart -- Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. Requiescant in pace. Amen.
