IBM seems to support linux and I need a linux friendly laptop.
Actually, there are some companies, that sell Linux equipped notebooks. Look up Angle Computers for one.
Or Linux Certified (http://linuxcertified.com). I have the LC2430, and it works great with Suse 9.1. The built-in modem and ethernet, as well as the external wireless card they sell with the laptop, all worked after a plain install of Suse 9.1. So does accelerated graphics. The only thing I haven't worked out yet is how to connect the laptop to an external monitor or projector and have a resolution other than 640 x 480 on that monitor. I am sure this can be done somehow, but I couldn't be bothered yet to play around with the XF86Config file. Claus
