I adviced my girlfriend to buy a used thinkpad. It's not a current model, but was good value for money. She's never had anything to complain about. You should look at thinkwiki.org for that excellent documentation on thinkpads. I guess that almost any laptop that's not a thinkpad will have less documentation and more risk of what is supported and what not. YMMV, but also try to consider the amount of time/effort it might take to get it working. A collegue bought a laptop that is also sold with suse preinstalled. Installing debian etch was possible, but getting graphics, sata, etc, to work took *a lot of effort* (and doesn't work with stable sarge). YMMV, HTH, Johannes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
