I've been asked to help someone select and buy a second hand laptop and install debian (woody) on it.
I'm seeking advice concerning both trouble free installation, and, more importantly, trouble free use.
Laptops to favour. Laptops to avoid. Features to favour. Features to avoid. Peripherals to favour. Peripherals to avoid. Faults to be aware of.
Considerations that are not obvious to someone who is experienced installing debian, redhat, mandrake and windows, but only on desktops?
For context, the requirement is more for mobility and small footprint inside the building rather than frequent travel.
Items of importance to user:
Gnome desktop, Mozilla browser, Mozilla mail.
TIA -- Pierre B.
