I don't know how useful this recommendation will be, but I've had good experiences with Fujitsu-Siemens notebooks. I'm using the S-6010 right now (P3-M/1Ghz, 512MB, 40GB, 13.3", 1.7Kg, 6hrs), and I've used a few E-series ones before. Build quality, battery life, light weight, and a good keyboard are the most important factors for me by far. In these respects, I got really lucky with my current laptop. It's last year's model that was sitting unsold in a warehouse, so I got it very cheap; furthermore, it is not ACPI-only, and APM and most of the hardware works fine under Linux. (The middle rocker-button on the trackpad doesn't work, and nor do the five extra "hot keys" arranged over the top of the keyboard. I suppose they could be made to work with some effort, but I've never felt the need to try.) > Do the systems supporting Intel Centrino technology work on Linux ? For the most part. One problem is often that the 802.11 chipset isn't properly supported. Sometimes you can replace it with a mini-PCI card. There are sometimes hackish ways to use proprietary drivers for them. And Intel has released a driver (still under development) for their own chipset. -- ams _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
