Re: [SuSE Linux] Recomended laptops

Linux works great on my Dell Latitude Cxwhatever. I lust after a Thinkpad, but I'm not sure how well Linux works on the odd graphics chipset they use. Go out there and find the laptop that you like best (keyboard and scree are probably most important, and I hate the touchpads; I'll get the pencil eraser whenever possible), then buy it with a 30 day satisfaction guarantee. If you can't get Linux to run, return the laptop.

Hi all. I am seriously looking into a laptop and I'd like to ask for recommendations. I want something with at least a PII 266, 64MB and *at least* a 6GB drive. Linux compatablility is of the utmost importance and FreeBSD compatability would be a bonus. Thanks in advance.

I've been really pleased with my Toshiba Tecra. I know that Toshiba has not been the most friendly to Linux, but from a standpoint of pure useability and quality they have great products. Linux installed on my Tecra without a hitch. There is also a decent sized group of Tecra Linux users with various web pages dedicated to Linux on Toshiba laptops and a mailing list. -- Jeremy Blosser | jblosser@firinn.org | <A HREF="http://jblosser.firinn.org/"><A HREF="http://jblosser.firinn.org/</A">http://jblosser.firinn.org/</A</A>> -----------------+-------------------------+------------------------------ "Would you fight to the death, for that which you love?
