Hi all, I am considering purchasing a laptop and wondered if any of you could give me specs on one that would be friendly to Mandriva 2005. I don't want to spend more than $1000.00 (US dollars) on it. I also prefer AMD processors, but I won't get too picky.
Thanks!

Have a look at this site. It's loaded with info and experiences from HP-ZD7000 and 8000 laptop users, including a bunch of Linux enthusiasts. I would think that there are similar forums for other laptop brands, but this one has detailed info from users on how to get everything working on them, including resolutions, modems and wireless.
