I am using a ThinkPad R60 at work and it was a real pain with 10.1 despite the fact it is certified for the enterprise desktop it was just a huge pain, until I switched distributions.
As far as recommendations here is my .2 cents take everything you hear here into account and go and buy what you want/like. If you talk to enough people you will find that every single laptop/company out there has had some problem of sorts and will continue to do. For example I have a Toshiba at home and have been running linux on it for the last 4 years and do not have major complaints. A friend of mine works for a company a Toshiba shop at the time, all the mother boards burned out at the same time, pretty much, for many employees. So he things it is a bad machine. He is using Dell now with Windows. I remember when I was using Winblows on a Dell P IV workstation the fan would run almost all the time 'cause the blody OS seemed to run explorer.exe at 87-98% full time for no reason. No wonder a mother board would burn especially if cooling is not adequate for such demands. What I am trying to say is you got try the thing with what you use the way you use it and still your millage will vary from the next guy using seemingly the absolute same machine. Good luck and let us know how you made out. George -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
