Do you have any specific model in mind ? With laptop, hardware compatibility is always an issue, since you can't change h/w as easily as you could in desktop machines. So ensure that all h/w is supported. One of the very easy things for this is prepare a knoppix/Ubuntu based LiveCD and carry it with you in the shop from where you are planning to buy your laptop. Boot the specific machine with LiveCD and see if all the features work as you expect. I think Ubuntu has good laptop support. Check http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/f-19.html for starters. Best of Luck with your shopping and do let us know what did you end up buying. It might be helpful for others who are also planning to buy laptop. -DP -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
