I'm looking to buy a notebook to use as Linux-only. The Sager NP2250 is the model I'm most impressed with but wonder if it would be a good choice for installing Mandrake. I have a home network (10/100 ethernet) with 5 stations and am using Mandrake as my NAT/Firewall computer for internet sharing via DSL. I would be using the notebook mostly at home on the LAN but am looking into the notebook so I can use the great Unix Astronomy program XEPHEM when I'm out star gazing. Thanks for any recos or experiences to share.
