I have had good experiences with Dell laptops and the Inspiron series in particular. Good XFree86 support, and the sound cards are generally supported by the 2.4 kernel, without any clunky external drivers.
My Inspiron 4000 worked on unstable without a hitch, with only minimal configuration. Highly recommended.

I have a very brief question. I'm not that familiar at all with Debian, I used it a while back, although not a lot, and I certainly qualify as a GNU/Linux neophyte. Enough with the introduction. Anyway, I've as of yet never used Debian on a laptop, and I'm looking into picking up laptop computer, and I'm wondering if you have any suggestions as to what I might want to pick up -- more along the lines of manufacturers whose computers work well with the latest version of Debian, rather than just the latest spiffy models, since I'm not sure what I can afford. Any personal experiences, or anything at all would be very helpful. Pax. -- Jonne (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) [25878630] http://www.mookid.iwarp.com Praise 'Bob'! Hail Eris!
