As another poster suggested, look at linux-laptops.net. I've
personally had good experiences installing Debian on Sony Vaios (C1XS
as well as later picturebooks), Dell Inspirons (8000 and 8200 except
for power management), and the Gateway Solo 3450 (fonts are really
ugly, although I never looked into this problem). I suspect that most
modern laptops will work fine, more or less. I've had the easiest
install on the Dells, and I just prefer them overall--the power is
kind of annoying, but I just have two batteries, anyhow.
