Hey Wesley,
I'd recommend looking at 2nd-hand lenovo thinkpads. The ones that I've
personally run debian on with good results are the T500, T400, X200s &
X230. There's loads of examples and details on thinkwiki.org
I reckon you'll be selling that mac pretty soon ;-)
Cheers,
Mark

Hello there!
I have a very brief question. I'm not that familiar at all with

Hi,
Try doing a search for linux and laptop on google. You'll find several
really good sites dedicated to exposing the pro and cons of different
manufacturers.
I chose Dell Inspiron 8000 myself for the lovely screen. Works fine
with Debian.

Hi.
I just got myself a Toshiba 3440CT. It's in the ultraportable category,
which means that it comes without internal cdrom or floppy. Getting
everything to run has been somewhat tricky.
Your email suggest that you live in Sweden so you might want to get the
machine from http://www.inwarehouse

Is it sufficient just to install package "gatos"?
