Besides voting with my dollars, I also want to ensure hardware
compatibility. I know in the past there were problems with Linux on some
laptops. Any suggestions as to what brands/models work well with Linux? I
just done want to take something home and find out the graphics card or the
wireless card isn't compatible.
