Andy,
There is an entire line of HP-Compaq business laptops that are linux friendly. Novell (SuSe) has certified most of the nc6xxx line. Centrino support is good regardless because Intel provides binary drivers.

So yeah, I think I've conned Mom and Dad to get me a laptop for graduation... I'm seriously considering getting an Apple (likely an iBook...), but Dad wants me to look into PC options as well...in which case, I'll want to put Linux on it... Does anyone have experience with getting Linux to work on a modern (i.e. within a year or two old...) notebook? I'd like to ether get an Athlon 64 in it (sadly, Turion isn't really out yet...) or a Centrino, but I'm not sure how well certain distros deal with Centrino (or any integrated wireless offerings, for that matter)... I'd rather keep it integrated wireless, rather than springing for a PCMCIA card with Linux drivers...
Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks!
Andy
