Laptops For Linux?

Hi Luke. I have a Dell Inspiron600M, and I got Slackware-10.0 running on 
it relatively painlessly. The sound card is an Intel chipset, so it uses 
the Alsa intel8x0 module. Unfortunately, only the S4 state works in 
ACPI...The rest of them I haven't gotten to work reliably. And the 
reason I got this laptop is because it has a serial port! I've lost 
count of how many times the Dectalk has saved my ass when Flite decided 
to not work...Until I was successfully able to configure 
Speech-dispatcher and Speechd_up. For more in-depth installation 
reports, I'd check out www.tuxmobile.com, and also 
www.linux-on-laptops.com. Hope this helps.
