Re: [Nolug] notebook recommendations

Support? Hmm... IBM stopped supporting Linux on their laptops officially last
year, but they got all the bugs out of them before they did. All of the
engineers still run Linux on their personal machines, so back-channel support
(user groups, usenet, irc, etc.) is probably to be found.

I've personally had good luck with older toshibas.

Anyone else have suggestions?
