Hi Gang, I'm in the market for a Linux Laptop/Notebook computer and I'd like some feedback from the group. What's out there that you've used? What's good and what's bad? I would prefer to get Linux installed, of course, but failing that I'd prefer to get one without any OS at all. I most certainly do not want to have Windoze pre-installed thus paying the M$ graft. At the same time, I don't want a machine that has been specifically tailored to a particular distribution either or with proprietary (source not included) drivers that will only work with one distro or kernel version. Then, if the worse comes to worst, then I may just have to get one with Windoze installed. I'll probably have to say a great many Rosaries but so be it. What say you all? >>>--fja-> PS. For those of you who are intersted, I just discovered that factorydirect.ca sells refurbished computers without OS on them. No laptops, though, just desk tops. As far as I can tell. -- OCLUG general discussion list [email protected] http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/oclug
