Dell is, for me, the best choice for laptops and desktops. :) I run testing on my Latitude C840, and no major problems. Just some tricky things for video (GeForce) and Modem (Builtin PCTel or equi). But you can look at the *marvelous* http://tuxmobil.org/ site to check, and post too, experiences using Debian or other distros on laptops. <advert> Have a look at http://francois.tourde.org/C840/ for C840 model, and to have an example of what you can (must?) do once installed :) </advert> -- Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves. -- Thomas Carlyle
