Linux Laptop

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

It is pretty decent and I am satisfied. It met all of my requirements. 
However, there are some systems with much better graphics capability which I 
don't really need. I was looking at the HP DV8000 series with a 17" screen. 
I came close to getting that one. 
As I also mentioned the warranty on the unit I bought is 3 years.  
The main thing is to check the linux on laptops web sites before you buy for 
any caveats. And, as I also indicated, the NX6125 is one of the models 
certified by SuSE.
