In my limited expeience, all the latops I have bought work with Debian, with the exception of modems. there is a driver you can dl from conexant that works with some modems. Beware of the desktop cpu in the laptop as it sucks power and drains the battery fast. ACPI is another feature that differs from vendor to vedor and is nice to have working in a laptop. The 2.4.23 kernel just fixed the 'reboot' issue on my Sony laptop. Other than ACPI my Sony 'just' works with Debian, is that a certification? :) - -- Greg Madden Debian GNU/Linux -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/5QKJk7rtxKWZzGsRAplgAKDDd12smFeBH8a8RBveDwwuAcAnfACg1Mvn FGJ8dneStNRXjulXX0XJ/yY= =xKhS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
