I'm looking at buying a pair of laptops which will need to dual-boot Windows and Debian.
I'm not concerned that they be Pentium IV 600 Ghz machines or be huge number-crunchers, but I would like them to run X enough that I can use emacs and font-lock mode, netscape (with something more that 256 colors) ... the standard stuff. 1) Are there laptops which aren't compatible with linux and Debian? 2) I understand that laptop video chipsets are wacky. Which ones work? 3) Are there other compatability issues I should be watching for? I've never touched anything with a PCMCIA card in it ...
