Hi,
I am due to buy a laptop computer, but I know that linux mandrake (and
probably other distros as well) have problems working on certain 
laptops.
Do you have any suggestion about which model I should buy?
Thanks,

I have a Dell Inspiron 5150, its cheap, fast, has an inbuilt 64MB 
Geforce FX5200, a 1600x1200 display, a 60gig hard disk and a DVD burner..

Runs mandrake perfectly.

I even got the wireless 802.11g truemobile 1300 wireless card working 
flawlessly with ndiswrapper..

With the exception that I would really love a ATI 9700 in it, I am 
very happy which this machine.
Dell now has an Inspiron 9100 that is selling for the same price I 
paid for my 5150, its better in nearly every way. (except size.)
