I have a hpzv6 running ubuntu 5.04. It is amd64. I think it was
about 900 after rebates. I'm pretty happy with both the computer
and the deal I got.
wireless uses ndiswrapper. I haven't tried the modem. the memory card
io doens't work with ubuntu ( 5.04 anyway).

I have a Thinkpad T42 at work, it's really nice, doesn't do the screen res
that you wanted, just 1024x768 on the screen, but the external port runs
nicely at 1600x1200. It's not the fastest, or the sexiest, but it's a
great system.
I just saw a co-worker bought a compaq AMD Turion based system, he's
really happy with it, but I didn't get a good look. He did say that it
was only $850, that's something that the Thinkpad can't claim.

Which laptop to buy, that is the question. The requirements are built
in Ethernet (gigabit would be nice), IEEE-1394 (FireWire) and a large
(as in pixels) screen (1400x1050 minimum). I must be able to boot both
Linux and some other well known OS.
I do not care who makes the CPU as long as it is x86, sorry no Macs for
this one. I have had less then happy experiences with Dell, and would
like to stay away from them. I also find Dell's Linux support to be
about worthless. I have bought my last Sony anything because of their
DRM shananagains. I have been happy with my IBM a20p Thinkpad and
before the my Digital HiNote II, but both are just a bit under powered.
Any suggestions on what to buy and where would help.
Thanks
