Wiht my old R51 i played penguin race. Wifi is also no problem. > I've seen lots of posts on here about wireless cards not working, so thats > what I'm the most > concerned about. No problem with centrino laptops.

It you buy over 50 pieces of a Thinkpad you can choise the OS. But i do not believe that you can buy a lapton in a store without windows xp. For a company i order some Laptops with are build especialy for them and for this Laptop i had to buy Windows XP. But i do not know how this boxes work with Linux. But Thinkpad are great laptops. I will never buy an other one > Do any of the major laptop manufactures sell laptops without OSes installed? I do not think so.

They are companies which make this for you. I only know a company in Germany which make this. And i think that you can find out how this one work under linux CU Michael -- Michael Ott, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED], www.zolnott.de I am registered as user #275453 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.
