This is a biased opinion (I do work for HP), but I've
been pretty happy with the Compaq Evo laptops. I've
got an n400c (running Debian testing) and a colleague
has an n800v (running Debian unstable, I think).
Even though these have a winmodem, it's at least a
Lucent one so I can get a driver for it that does
work. With the wireless module attached, it's pretty
handy and quite light weight. I haven't tried all
the hardware on it yet, but CD-RW, LAN, modem all
seem to behave; I haven't messed with ACPI, and the
IrDA port is something I'd like to play with sometime.
Having 512MB RAM is pretty nice, too.
I have no idea what the price will be. I'm not even
sure how much mine cost :-).

hi,
ever thought about an acer?
i am running a travelmate 610txv. it has nice dimensions (small) and weights
about
2.5 kg with cd/dvd module.
debian is running very well except for the lucent amr winmodem (apm, etc works
nice).
it is also robust (magnesium protected) and i dropped it a few times without
harming
the laptop.
i think it is cheaper than buying an ibm notebook, but i do not know how the new
series (630xxx, aspire, etc) work.
I'll have a look. Thanks!
Cheers,
