Hello,
I am interested in buying a laptop. A key requirement would be that it ran Linux (Kubuntu) smoothly and that all the hardware was supported, not neccessarily by *open* source drivers as binary drivers would be okay eg NVIDIA drivers.
I've had no issues with either of the IBM Thinkpads I've owned... My current laptop (THINKpad R51) runs Ubuntu 7.04 very nicely. (It always ran Ubuntu straight out of the box.)
Options I am interested in moderately large screen, nvidia graphics card, intel duo and linux support camera and wifi.
I don't have the camera, figerprint reader, or anything else. WIFI, no problem. The graphics card is an Intel chipset.
