[no subject]

 I've had excellent results with the ThinkPads I've owned, but I'm
currently using a Sony Vaio VGN-A290 for my everyday notebook. 
Everything I use works well, but there are some soft switches that use
windoze drivers that I haven't felt necessary to get working.

The biggest problem I had was getting the wide screen working right
with the ATI 3d drivers (worked ok with the open source,
non-accellerated...).
I helped a colleague with another Vaio, I don't know the model but it
was tiny, and had to install a program to add the correct aspect ratio
to get a full size display.

I've used live trial CD's on a number of HP and Toshiba LTs and they've
worked fine, in general.

When I bought the Sony I brought my live trial CD and tried it on every
LT I was interested in before I bought this one.

Hi,

I'm considering a laptop and I want to dual boot it w/ Linux/XP (or at
least 
have an XP image I can boot into a la VmWare). What models are
particularly 
well/poorly suited for this? Any vendors who can build this for me? Any
linux 
distro's better for this than others (I have SuSE 9.2 on my current
tower 
which I bought from Monarch; I got pretty good svc from them although
they 
only seemed to have 1 linux guy who was &quot;part- time&quot; at that)?
