Re: [newbies] laptops

[Lars Olson]

I have an IBM laptop (TP 600) dual booting just fine.  I used Mandrake, 
and almost everything "Just Worked" (TM).  Not quite everything... the 
sound card took a little tweaking, and the modem is a winmodem (normally 
a bad thing for linux-- watch out for these) although IBM released some 
modem drivers for linux so you'd be OK if you went with them.

I have heard that some laptops have a hard time with putting a dual-boot 
with linux and Windows on it.  Does anybody know any laptops that do 
this well? Are there any that I should look out for that might be bad?
thanks!
