Laptops & Network USB hubs

["Anthony Gabrielson-2" <user=1422@nabble.blu.org>]

 Hello, 
    I may have a need to buy two new laptops shortly i.e. this weekend.   
Although my wifes laptop will run windows I will probably run Ubuntu on 
it.  Its been awhile since I have been able to run what I want on a 
computer so I wanted to get an idea of how things are working these days 
relative to what I need to do. 

My first purchase, if things come together, will be laptops.  I have a 
budget of ~900 for each machine.  I'm leaning towards an HP DV6654US. If 
anyone has experience with it I would like to get there impressions of 
it.  Does Linux support hibernate and energy saving with it?  How does 
the video look with X?  I'm actually a bit excited about the possibility 
of being able to run Linux as my main OS again, its been a few years... 

My second question is how do people host there printers/USB HD on the 
network for Linux & Windows with out a desktop?  I'm looking at the 
belkin F5L009, but I can't really find a description of how it works.   
Anyone using this device with Linux? 

Thanks, 
Anthony
