One thing to think about is placement of the ctrl key. It gets used a

Only if you use emacs, if you use vim, for example, it hardly gets used
at all.
I have an older Dell Inspiron 6400/E1505. and I like it a lot. It has a
very good keyboard
for a laptop, probably the best I've run into. All the keys are in
normal places, except
because it has no separate number pad or the 6 keys a desktop k/b has to
the right of
the Backspace and \ keys, the delete key is after the F12 key.
So if they still make as nice a machine as this one, then I recommend
Dell. (I'm running
PCLinuxOS on it, and it works fine. I dual boot with XP, but hardly ever
use the m/s os.)
