From my experience the
combination of an Intel CPU and chipset combined with an Nvidia
videocard will usually yield the highest level of compatibility and
performance.
That's really interesting. Nvidia was a real PITA wrt to Linux device
drivers a while ago; have they seen the light?
have they seen the light?
Not really but their chipset/graphic drivers are atm far more stable
then e.g. ATI.

Try adding 'acpi=off' to the parm line when booting. That usually lets
you get the machine to stay up long enough to figure out what else is
dying.
Also, SLED has a lot of drivers preloaded that aren't in the base SuSE
10.
I have had SuSE Linux running on T60's and T40's for the past 3 years.

Much more fundamentally laptops have given up using most of the
