If your price point is more like $1000, System76 sells laptops preloaded with Ubuntu (you can change it out if you want) and they make sure they have hardware that's more or less compatible. At least that's what my podcasts have been telling me lately! Seriously, though, it sounds like they go to a lot of work to make sure you get a good laptop that's compatible with Linux. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
