I just wish the information at l-o-l was organized for a search on
something other than brand, since brand is sometimes that target rather
than the key, in very general terms.

I was looking for a laptop which had Centrino/pentium-M for battery life
and which worked with 2.6 kernels. Spent a lot of time and either there
isn't one or someone with more time than I will have to find it.

Given the state of 2.6 power management, I have no trouble finding units
which won't boot, or suspend, or have disfunctional parts, but I haven't
identified the one which actually works :-(

I'll go look at the other links, but I think they are optimized for
search by brand as well.
