[PD] [OT] notebook recommendations?

[shreeswifty]

well it of course depends on your patience :-)
It took me quite a while to install a proper linux build on my
Sony Vaio Laptop.
If you have not tossed the thing yet i would recommend that you get a
version of Redhat
7.3 or 8 and install the .rpms at PLanet CRMA
(grab the ACPI Kernel under System..that should fix your soundcard and or
modem problem i am betting.

I have a negative experience to share: avoid mixing Compaq presario 700 and
Suse. The normal audiocard (soundmax) was impossible to configure (modem as
well), until eventually lost my patience. I would say that computers that
are perfect for windows don't work always in linux. Maybe buying a system
that comes already with linux is the best choice (some shops and sites in
the internet have that choice already).
