Hi Jim, Sorry to hear about the laptop death. I'd take a close look at the IBM ThinkPads. They generally work well with Linux. I've done or have helped out with a lot of laptop installs over the years (for bosses, co-workers, myself, and at installfests) and have probably seen the least Linux troubles with the IBMs. That said, pretty much all new ACPI (non-APM) laptops are going to be somewhat troublesome since Linux ACPI support is immature. And no matter what models you investigate, be sure to see the write-ups at: http://linux-laptop.net/ good luck, Ed -- Edward H.
