David, good point. I recommended the IBM's in an earlier post. But the truth is I just do not have experience with HP notebooks (though my earlier Compaq experience was not good). My brother told me he just decided to go with an HP notebook for his son going off to college - "just" so he would have some HP experience and shut me up :) I'll take your work for it that they work fine. My issue has always been the support two years down the road. I happen to own 2 Compaq Presario Notebooks, each running SuSE. Neither had any difficulty.
However, it is very important to check on a laptop model before
acquiring one, since not every laptop will work, even those made by
Linux-friendly companies.
