Well I can't speak for any hardware list, but what I can say is that I've used rl on two laptops:
A Winbook XL PI233 2gig 64mg and a Umax PI233 3gig 64mg with good luck on both I guess my buying tips would be 1) Search google groups for buying Info on the laptops you're interested in. 2) If you know beyond a reasonable doubt that you don't plan on using the Micro$oft bundle products, then by all means ask for, if not demand, the refund for them. By law in most states they are required to provide the refund... This has three effects Drives your cost down. helps pc manufacturers lower costs Helps GNU/Linux gain respectablity in the coporate mindset. --- dc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Speaking of laptops, is there a recommended/approved > hardware list? > > RL is similar to Caldera, right?
