Hi all!
I'm looking to buy a laptop. It should be able to run any of WinXP
Professional, Win2003 Professional (both with some optional drivers, all
included), Mandriva 2007.1 (out of the box) and Debian Testing (possibly with
some tweaking). Since I'll be running Windows on VMware or booting from
MSWin, I don't mind paying the MS tax. I don't want Vista pre-installed,
though (!) - only WinXP or Win2003.
What I need:
1. FOSS 3-D drivers.
2. FOSS Ethernet drivers.
3. Working screen.
4. Working external projector/screen connector.
5. Big hard disk - at least 80 GB.
6. At least 2 GB of RAM.
7. I don't mind buying a separate USB wifi connector with FOSS drivers (but
possibly non-FOSS firmware).
8. A well-known company. (Lenovo, Dell, HP, etc.)
9. Good experience with it.
10. All hardware works with open source drivers, at least on Linux. FreeBSD
would be a big plus.
Regards,
Shlomi Fish
