All,
I 'm fairly new to Linux (used Sarge for ~6months) and the time has come
for me to buy a laptop. I will be living in continental Europe
(Frankfurt, Milan, Paris) for 2 years (on business) so I need a decent
spec since it will be my only machine at home.
My requirements are:
* Can run Debian
* Pentium M Processor (For battery life/performance)
* Large screen (17")
* Large harddisk (>80Gb)
* Reasonably high performance graphics card
The only laptop that I can find which fits the requirements is the Sony
Vaio VGN-A417S:

However, I can't find any evidence that a VGN-A417S is going to be easy
to install Debian on!
I have seen posts claiming "Sony make the least Linux-friendly" laptops
and others where people couldn't get the install CD to recognise the
harddisk in a similar Vaio model.
Can anyone comment on this more specifically please? Or alternatively,
is there an alternative to the Vaio VGN-A417S which would meet my
requirements and work with Debian?
As always, any comments are gratefully received.
Thanks in advance,
James.
