Recently I've been thinking about buying a laptop.  I've been thinking about an Apple 17" G4 Powerbook but I figure that's just a little to far from the flock... ie, I'd have to find replacements for too much software I currently use.

For serious stuff I currently use Linux (Fedora Core 1) and it's associated apps.  For "play" I use Windows XP.  On XP I mainly use things like DVD Decrypter,  PowerDVD, etc.  Media playback and storage utils basically.  Occasionally I play some Windows games but I'd be happy enough with just my consoles for that.

There are some things about buying a laptop that concern me.  One is unsupported hardware in Linux. The others are screen size (I use a 21" CRT at the moment) and speed (current PC's is a 2.6Ghz P4s).

Anyone here have any suggestions regarding desktop replacement Laptops that have very good hardware support on Linux?

Regards
