[techtalk] laptop on linux

[JLG]

My Umax Actionbook has run Debian, NetBSD and now FreeBSD 
happily. Additionally I have a Fuji Lifebook 635 running Debian 
that has been problem free. (no small feat considering the cd-rom
and floppy live in the docking station) 
And to round out my own *nix laptop experiences I'll give a 
hearty 'me too' to the pro-Dell Inspirion and Latitude reccomendations.
Both of these lived on my desk at one point and have run Red Hat
with no additional hacking.

Regarding my UMAX Action Book, it was a lot of machine for the 
price, but the display is only 800x600 and their tech support
is really, really lacking.

My Lifebook was a freebee, i haven't bothered to set up
X-windows on it. Weighing in at around at a petite 3.5 lbs 
with battery I 'schlep' it with me practically everywhere
and it's hanging in quite nicely. 

good luck!
