Re: OT: Time for a Linux laptop

Indeed, it runs Sabayon right now. But a lot of others in the office, with similar hardware, are using Ubuntu, Mint, and Fedora and others to great success. The place I'm working now (InMotion Hosting) is almost all Linux from Tier 2 onward; a few Macs. Only the Tier 1 group uses Windows for

Re: OT: Time for a Linux laptop

Well, personally, I recommend Mac laptops - tremendous hardware, and they're BSD unix underneath. And it's easy enough to run pretty much any Linux or BSD distro under a hypervisor - at near native speed. I typically have Parallels running, with a Windows VM running (for Quicken and Visio),

My Windows laptop is showing its age. I'd like to have a Linux laptop for the Ashland sprint. Any suggestions for a relatively powerful *quiet* Ubuntu laptop? Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group. To unsubscribe from this
