Regarding crap, I hope you are joking.
Linux has good support on a wide varity of hardware, even if it does
come from
BB, CC or Office*.
Do a google search for "linux laptop" and you will see a web pages that list
notebooks running on linux.
IBM is good, but expensive. I'm lusting after a hp amd64 laptop ( or the
sagar np4750 laptop ( http://wastelands.net/d470k/ ).

any laptop you buy from office depot or best buy will likely be crap,
and not work well with linux. your best bet is to get an ibm EPP code
from someone in the lug (join the #trilug irc channel, we'll hook you
up) and get a thinkpad.

I'm still looking for a laptop that will run Linux and Apache for my
personal use to learn PHP and MySQL. What do you all think of Compaq
with an AMD Sempron processor?
Office Depot has a special offer that ends today, which can also be
upgraded to an AMD Athlon 64 for another $75.
Does anyone know of any great online sources to recommend for a new
machine? The prices of laptops on eBay seem pretty high when you
compare them with the weekly special rebate offers from Office Depot
or Best Buy.
Thanks,
Matt
