Re: Debian on laptop

[Reeyarn <reeyarn@gmail.com>]

Hi E.S.

I'm using Dell Insiron 500m laptop, it works well with Debian. And I think any popular laptop could work well too.
Here is a short list of my hardwares:
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device
Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM AC'97 Audio Controller
Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter

For your mentioning cable modem, if you use PPPOE in MS win32, you could refer to 
http://wiki.debian.org/PPPoE for using it in debian.

Regards,

Reeyarn

Dear Sirs,


After spending hours of reading about the Linux distributions and compatible hardware, I feel I get crazzy. I chose you because of your "Social Contract", though I'm not sure Debian is still updated, apologize, I couldn't find recent articles, I am a newbye.

Question: Could you recommend me a laptop model, with all details, which works completely, or perfectly with Debian? Including audio-video hardware, and hardware for connection to Internet (I'm on cable modem, UPC is my provider).

I don't need an expensive one. Perhaps an anti-glare, anti-reflex screen is needed because I'll have to read a lot.

Thanks,
E.S.
