Best possible aproach is to buy a laptop preinstalled GNU/Linux distribution. That ensures full support for all the hardware in the laptop. That also encourages manufacturers to sale more laptops and models preinstalled with GNU/Linux. > > So, i need some recommendations as to which laptop would be the best > as far as Linux support goes. > I am planning to buy a Dell Inspiron 1525. Is it the right choice or > should i consider something else ? However, if your workload does not match the existing awailable systems please make a list of models which match your reauirement. Once you have few models please check the compatibilty of each model with GNU/Linux and seach and/or ask on this or other mailing list. I had in past lenovo r60 which was 100% compatible with Ububtu 6.04 I recently bought Acer Aspire One (Intel Atom processor) preinstalled with linpus Linux and since then I have replaced linpus with Fedora Core 10. All the hardware is working fine. (card reader not tested) > > Thank You NTH -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
