I've good experience with IBM ThinkPads, in particular the R50 line. I've got one with 1G RAM and a 1400x1050 screen. Works really fine with SuSE10.2. My second laptop works just as fine with SuSE10.2, it's a DELL Precision/M90 (!!), it's not a machine I would recommend though, it looks awfull and is really big and heavy. But, performance with SUSE10.2 is excellent. And its Nvidia 1900x1200 screen is excellent.
Personally, I'd never by a Dell to use with Linux. I've seen components change even within the same model#, you never really know what you are ordering. Not to mention that I think both Toshibas and Thinkpads both have superior construction to the [we can save 15 cents here] Dells. -- -- Adam Tauno Williams Network & Systems Administrator Consultant - http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com Developer - http://www.opengroupware.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
