I have had many flavors of linux on a few different types of laptops and I am wondering if maybe a better question to ask is: What laptop models are not good for linux and Ubuntu specifically?

He would like to use it for general operations like surfing, contact management and office work. I, myself, made good experiences with an Acer travelmate 220 but I have no idea how acer laptops are working today under linux. He likes samsung laptops and wants to limit his purchase to roundabout 1000 $/€. Would Acer still be a good choice? What about Samsung models? Do you have any good experiences with other laptops under linux, especially the collabaration with ubuntu? What's your advice? Thanks a lot, Hagen One thing is clear: Ubuntu will be installed...;-) -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com </a> <a href="http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- The Ambassador and the General were briefing me on the -- the vast majority of Iraqis want to live in a peaceful, free world.
