Re: [SLE] Workstation laptop suggestions
I forgot this question: Does IBM or any other major computer vendor deliever pre-installed Linux and support for Linux on their mobile workstation/laptop models? This to compare with e.g the smaller and not worldwide mentioned LC http://www.linuxcertified.com/company_info.html Rgds, Terje J. Hanssen
