Hi all
I am looking for a laptop to carry around and make demonstrations using
Linux and some specific applications.
I want to install OpenSuSE, Centos, or Kubuntu as the host system.
Then I will install VMware Workstation on the host.
I need 64bits, at least 4 GB RAM (6 or 8 is better), and a reasonable
screen. Standard disk space is OK.
I looked at an ASUS K72JR-B1 but it looks that it is not supporting
Linux. Same thing with Dell Vostro 3300.
Any suggestions?
Thank you all.

You might be surprised once you try a laptop that is apparently not
supported (where did you see this info that it is not supported).
I suggest using futureshop or bestbuy, which have liberal return
policies, and buy one that has the specs you need. Ubuntu has done alot
of work in supporting new hardware. If you use centos you may run into
more problems as they may not have the most up-to-date drivers in their
install media.
I have had good luck with both Acer and Toshiba laptops, I don't bother
to check anything when I buy hardware, I just assume it will work with
linux, and if not, this is reason to return it.
