Hey folks. I'm thinking of getting one of them laptop thingies and running debian on it. After a wee bit of looking about I am stuck between an ibm thinkpad and a toshiba satelite (pro). The first due to their publicised linux support and the 2nd cos it seems to be well recommended by friends. Both of them have prettymucht he features I want.
So... my quesiton is, how well are they supported under debian/linux? Is ibm's linux support more then just hot air? Will I be able to do the funky things like hibernation and stuff under them? And so on... basically, is there anything icky about trying to run linux under these suckers that'd make one preferable over the other. I welcome any URLs that ppl may have that'd help. I currently have a wee collection of: Certification - IBM ThinkPad 390X http://www.linuxcare.com/labs/certs/pad390x.epl Linux on a ThinkPad 755C http://www.wam.umd.edu/~renomero/linux-tp Linux on Laptops http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/ Are there any others that'd be helpful? Anyone have any personal experiences they wanna send me? (privately or otherwise) Basically, these suckers are expensive and I don't wanna make a fubar. If there's a better list I could ask this on I'd appreciate subscription info for it too.
