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 ...

                                                        Will
