I'm going to have to replace my old (6+ years) Toshiba that has a amd

I'm looking for recommendations for a mid range ($1k - 1.5k) laptop that
is compatible with
Opensuse 10.3.


The current issue of Linux Journal has an extensive article on just that
subject.

From personal experience, I've installed SuSE Linux on both my Lenovo
notebook and my Toshiba laptop without much drama. Of the two, the
Lenovo was easier, requiring the least trouble to get everything working
right.

The LJ article approaches the subject from the standpoint of what's
available without Windows already installed. Not only can that save
some money (especially if you're never going to use the Windows
license), but you stand a better chance of having everything you need
for Linux already installed -- like video and sound support, wireless
driver, and so on.
