[techtalk] light laptops for linux?

[Molly Tomlinson]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good, slim laptop? I will be taking
it on a cross-US bike trip this summer; small and light will be my primary 
concerns. :) I'd like something reasonably powered - I will be doing photo
work - but given the choice, I'd take light over fast. 

Right now I'm looking at the Sony Vaio R505 "SuperSlim" series and the Dell
Inspiron 2100. Anyone have experience running Linux on either of these (or
similar) beasties?

thanks,
--Molly
