The first place to check (if you have a specific make/model in mind) is http://www.linux-laptop.net/ A few companies are now selling pre-installed Linux based laptops. IBM/Dell I think have a few models. I have run/met people who run Linux on Sony Vaio, Dell Latitude, IBM Thinkpad and Compaq/HP Presario models. Though there have been occassional hiccups, in most cases things do work. Most often, complaints have been of sound and modem. Also, I have these bookmarks: http://www.linuxcertified.com/linux_laptops.html http://mcelrath.org/laptops.html Binand -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# uptime 11:55am up 58 days, 4:49, 2 users, load average: 1023.78, 419.92, 158.90 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: SourceForge.net Broadband Sign-up now for SourceForge Broadband and get the fastest 6.0/768 connection for only $19.95/mo for the first 3 months! http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=2562&alloc_id=6184&op=click _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
