[techtalk] laptop on linux

[Weilbacher, Katie, CON, OASD(HA)/TMA]

i put debian (slink) on dell latitude xpi (an ebay cheapie). the install was
tolerable, albiet quirky with no bootable cdrom. getting x configured,
however, has left me with a chunk of hair missing. but i guess there's
nothing wrong with a command line laptop.. heehee...

fortunately, there are lots of resources online comparing brands/models and
distributions - which work best, which install easier, supported functions,
problems, etc. a few minutes at google has saved my life before. ok, maybe
thats an exaggeration :)

 Hi
 
 I'm thinking about buying a laptop for running linux. I've been surfing
 the net and researching for three days now but I am as 
 confused as ever. 
 
 I would appreciate it very much if you could share your linux+laptop
 experinces with me.
 
 bye :)
 Anmol
