Julia :thumbsup: I wouldn't mind that IF THEY LET ME GO FOR IT AT THEIR EXPENSE :hysterical: Cheers for YearsColin :hysterical:
:whistling: That would be the chance of your live Colin ! I always wanted to see how they put together a laptop in their plant, or how those big companies produce their equipment. But yep, the EXPENSE.. :whistling: Somehow it should be fair after all you got through with that lappy that they at least send you an invitation for that. :whistling:

Hi Colin . . from what I know the HP laptops, the business models ( not the consumer ones ) are Linux compatible ;)The next ones are even "certified" ( meaning even the wireless works out of the box ):HP nc 4200HP nc 6120HP nc6220HP nx6110HP nx6125HP nx8220Dell latitude 110LDell latitude 120LDell latitude C 810Dell latitude D 610:thumbsup: Bruno

Colin . . . with the "certified" ones you can no go wrong ! The certification process is a very exhaustive one to pass . . . and is far more then only looking if you can install Linux on it :w00t: Only the very best pass the test !:D Bruno

Thanks BrunoThe Dell latitudes were OLDER models the new oners in Canada are the INSPIRONHave found the odd HP and am still searching as WAITING for the Global call :D Cheers for YearsColin :w00t:

Sssst . . . Colin, don't tell anyone . . . . . but HP is better :D :w00t: Bruno

Posted

Those are older models. If you get one with an IPW2100 or 2200 they have support built in to all kernels 2.6.12 or later if what I have read is correct. :w00t: I have had no problems with mine. The reason that is built in is becuase they are now the most popular built in wireless.Just stay away from ATI and PCI Express video.

BrunoI prefer HP anywaysJuliaMost laptops I have looked at HAVE had ATI :whistling: :D Cheers for yearsColin :w00t:

Posted

I know. Even my laptop has ATI. I was just thinking and wondering. I would like to save you a few headaches along the way. It is much easier to look at potential problems before doing something rather than after.

Colin, you've been so quiet lately. What adventures can you share about PCLos on the desktop computer? I'm sure you haven't been sitting around with the computer turned off pining for lappy. :thumbsup:
