Presario 700 Athlon 1.4Ghz
I have not done a direct install, I'm running Mdk 8.2 under VMWare.
For what it works, that works well.

Thanks to everybody who offered suggestions as what brands work well and which
ones don't. I've always had good luck with Dell, but every company has their
good days and bad, I guess. The IBM ThinkPad's look good, too. Was also
considering HP and Sony. Definite requirement after 2 years of p

Well, that depends on how well you can get Linux to run on them. If
they are all flaky installs, or something is broke, then you won't be
able to make any profit. People don't want to pay you to install
something that's broke, when they can do it themselves.
Pricing would be another issue, if
I have been pondering the idea of starting a small business installing
and selling Linux on laptops. Does anyone have any idea how much
business I may get with such a venture? I am keeping watch of this
mailing to see what some of the best laptops would be to use.

WindowsXP Home came with it and it works fairly well
so instead of blowing it off, I put VMWare on it instead.

I have a Compaq Armada 3500 (PII-300).
Everything on it works perfectly (USB, PCMCIA modem, PCMCIA ethernet,
pointer, sound, APM, etc), except the video card. It's a Chips and
Technologies 96000 (2MB), and it stinks. It was insanely slow with
XFree 3 and it doesn't work at all with XFree 4.

I would consider the Sony and perhaps Dell. As Jason said mine fell to pieces
while ejecting the CD-RW drive and then there were the marathon phone tag
sessions trying to get in touch with someone to get the issue resolved.

I second the IBM Thinkpad recommendation. I've been running on an A22p
for months. Easy install and everything works. I just installed on a new

I particularly like Thinkpads because they hold up well to my rough
handling. :-)

Hi,
I'm finally at a point where I can retire the Gateway Solo 9100 I've been
using for the last few years. It's the machine I use for both my day-to-day
work and for cooker. Now comes the fun of selecting a new laptop to replace
it. Suggestions from the cooker participants would be
