I wonder how well IBM is supporting linux on their new Thinkpad models? With their strong show of support in many areas, perhaps they would be a possibility? Have a read through other peoples' experiences with IBM laptops at: http://www.tuxmobil.org/ibm.html and http://www.linux-laptop.net/ibm.html Also, linuxcertified.com has a range of new or refurbished laptops certified to work with linux: http://www.linuxcertified.com/linux_laptops.html -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Using Linux on the Inspiron 1100: http://geocities.com/randomnumbergenerator2001/ *regularly updated*
