[uug] Linux Laptops

[Nathan Cooprider]

I am looking into getting a laptop to do schoolwork on and I would like to 
put linux on it (probably as the only operating system).  I have heard this 
can be a little more tricky than putting it on a desktop (which, the last 
time I did it, practically did everything for me).

What should I look for in a laptop (especially so that I can put linux on 
it and it will run well)?  Dell has been recommended to me by a number of 
people.  Where can I find a good deal?  I guess I also need to know a 
little about wireless cards as well.  What kinds work well with linux and 
the various BYU wireless networks (or does it not really matter)?
