Laptop recommendations?

[John covici]

I have had success with Dell latitudes -- watch out though, the one I
have does have a serial port, but make sure yours does as well.  I
don't have orca running, but there is no NVidia card, so you may have
luck there.  My desktop does have an Nvidia card and runs Orca, but I
am using Gentoo, so your mileage may vary.
