AMD Turion 64 Laptop Advice?

[Dr_Willis]

Curently useing a Compaq V2311US laptop with a Turion ML-28 CPU. It was
on sale and dang cheap.



As far as i have been able to research - the CPU itself is not an issue
with linux, However the special features of the laptops CAN be a huge
issue.



So far I have Ubuntu Hoary working 'ok' which is to say that I cant get
DMA enabled for the hard drive, the X200 video card is having to use the
VESA drivers. 

I havent even tried to get wireless working.



But over all its useable. 



So in Summary - if you want a well supported laptop at this time. You
may want to look at last years  machines. i highly suggest one with
Nvidia video. 



With my last linux/laptop efforts - the linux support eventually grew
into supporting the new laptops in a few months time.



Good luck.
