hi all,
don't go for a compaq or hp laptop (a friend of mine lost 3 kg wait after he
took a compaq)... I'm certain that you'll regret if you do...
I prefer dell vostro n series cos they don't come with any operating system
pre installed (you don't need to pay for windows [:)] ) and they are good

Hi Raseel,
No, there aren't any technical reasons. The basic reasons are :-

interested to look in that direction

b. Atheros released athk5 HAL code

I use a refurbished DELL Latitude 620. I have no complaints. Its fast
and runs UBuntu (configuring the wireless was tough though).

programing
