I would say Avoid toshiba Dell, and IBM laptops seem to work very well with Linux, and from what i gather from the catalogs elinux.com sends me it seems the new compaqs work well with linux.
I have personally setup several dell latitude(not sure what model, but it had a celeron 400 128MB ram, 12G disk and 14" screen i think) IBM Thinkpad 600, IBM iseries(dont know what model, had P5-300 64MB 13" screen), and 2 toshiba sattelites. the toshibas by far were the hardest and had the worst support. the dells had the best support however the IBMs i had were quite old(at least a year) so IBM support probably has improved since. nate Dexter Graphic wrote: > > The site is a rich source of information on GNU/Linux laptops. > > http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/ > > But it's almost too much information and to general in nature > to be of immediate use.
