fuzzylizard Posted November 3, 2002 Report Share Posted November 3, 2002 I am doing on project for school where I have to compare several different makes of notebooks and then right a proposal suggesting which one to use. So, I am asking you people which you think are the best - easiest - notebooks out there for installing Linux onto. What do you think? Also, are there any companies that are well known for their support of Linux on their notebooks? I think you can get it preinstalled on certain IBM notebooks. Although the assignment is to learn how to right the report, the material and info in the report has to be accurate - we actually have to include a bibliography at the end of it. So, that is why I am asking for peoples opinions and experiences here. Thanks in advanced :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitz Posted November 3, 2002 Report Share Posted November 3, 2002 I don't have a notebook but have been checking into Dell. They gave linux as an option a few years back but no more. Their hardware is still very linux compatible from what I hear. A company called Emperor Linux resells Dell laptops with linux installed. Here are some URLs: http://www.dell.ca http://www.emperorlinux.com Glitz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eppoh Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 IBM has been doing a lot of work on linux and I believe they now offer RH as an option on new laps. For a comprehensive list of Linux on laptops go to http://www.linux-laptop.net/ Have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CloakedPenguin Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 I got my laptop (DeskNote) from http://www.internetishop.com I really like mine it's awesome. They have some pretty good deals. You get more for your money. Basically why they are less expensive is because you aren't paying for the NAME. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
