[PLUG] Re: Laptop Recommendations

[Paul Heinlein]

Concerning ThinkPads, the engineers at work have had good luck running 
Linux on a T41 (CentOS), a T60 (Gentoo), and an X31 (Debian). I had an 
older T-series machine back at OGI, but I can't remember the specific 
model number.

That said, I've also had good luck with Linux on a variety of Dell 
Latitudes: D600, D620, D800. Debian and Ubuntu are particularly sweet 
on the Latitudes for some reason.

Installing Linux on *any* of these machines is usually much easier 
than installing Windows XP, which requires a ton of manufacturer's 
drivers to work properly.
