Not every geek(not including you) ;) most people(even geeks) need to go for the quality of the components as well apart from the supported types. Most geeks are aware of that there could be problems to get linux working well, but the quality and surely the brand can't be put aside at all. And as far as my experience says, Dell laptops didn't have any linux related problems(not many) before but for the new series they have launched a few months ago so probably I don't want to go in flame war of brands, but in sub range laptops, at this time only Dell(with there new series) and Asus(mostly) can be relied over hardware reliability in the market (though personal user experience may vary for specific combinations ). So I feel there is still a long way ahead for fully compatible linux laptops to be available(until Narendra's plan succeeds :) ) > -- > Regards, > Nilesh Govindarajan > Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/nilesh.gr > Twitter: http://twitter.com/nileshgr > Website: http://www.itech7.com > VPS Hosting: http://www.itech7.com/a/vps > -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
