Check for the modem!!! Most laptops nowadays come with a nice winmodem,
which is sometimes really not supported under Linux (sigh). I got a HP
Omnibook 6000 with some 3com modem in it and I have found nothing to get
that one to make a call. So I'm still dual booting for when I'm on the
road :-(

Check for the modem!!! Most laptops nowadays come with a nice winmodem,
which is sometimes really not supported under Linux (sigh). I got a HP
Omnibook 6000 with some 3com modem in it and I have found nothing to get

I think it's called a nipple and I hate them!
I take a USB mouse with me when I go out and about.

No! You can use Debian just fine on an Apple laptop. However, the
hardware is rather pricey. At present, however, the powerbook has
some

If your looking at ibooks then IMHO stick with Apple's OSX. Hmmm, can I
get away with this on a Debian list.. :-)
I've not used Apple kit at all, but I have seen OSX in action and it
looks very nice. But most importantly it will support all the hardware
that the ibook has to offer.
As for laptops,
Hi everybody.
I'm in the process of buying (or wanting to buy) a laptop, but I wanted
to ask the list first if someone has any recomendations on models or
brand (I mean getting all of the hardware supported); of course I want to
use debian. What do you think about mac laptops (IBook) are they ok
