Thanks for all the tips. I've looked at the lenovos before but always
thought they were kind of ugly. I'll check them out again. System76 isn't
really an option as we need windows computers (at least until I convert the
district). However, I won't buy computers that don't support Linux since I
will be playing with these too and I want to send the message whenever I
can.

So a T61 is a good bet? What about the X series (Lenovo that is)?
