Re: Seeking recommendation for Laptop, must satisfy:



Hello Oleg, hello Walter,


http://www.linux-on-laptops.com can also be useful, but if you see someone saying "everything works" without backing that up, do NOT believe him.

wasn't it www.linux-laptop.net? OK, I'checked both they work.

AFAIK the most reliable, and probably more Linux-compatible than others, are IBM Thinkpads, but I'm not sure if I could live with a Trackpoint (OTOH Ultranav's are heavy and very expensive)

Don't trust any manufacturer, also IBM. I brought one as they told on their website, that there is a Lucent-Winmodem inside. Instead there is a Lucent-Softmodem, which is not working. (See .../debian-laptop-200209/msg00291.html)

The Problem is that all manufacturer want to sell as cheap as possible. That's why it seems to be impossible to get everything working on a laptop.

Greetings.
